A yawn is quite catching, you see. Like a cough. It just takes one yawn to start other yawns off. Dr. Seuss spins a sleep-tastic tale about a very small bug and a very big yawn that spreads and spreads. Meanwhile, the Audio-Telly-o-Tally-o Count adds up every sleeping creature from the country of Keck to the Castle of Krupp. First one, then seven, all the way to the billions and zillions, the Who's-Asleep-Count just keeps growing and growing! This book is a perfect bedtime story that will have the most reluctant readers laughing, and the most reluctant sleepers snoring!

What could make a better present than a classic Beginner Book? Six of them—for less than the price of two! We've taken the complete text and art of three beloved P.D. Eastman titles: Go, Dog. Go!, Are You My Mother?, and The Best Nest; Robert Lopshire's Put Me In the Zoo (the first of his books featuring the character Spot); Marilyn Sadler and Roger Bollen's It's Not Easy Being a Bunny (the first PJ Funnybunny story); and Mike McClintock's charming, cautionary tale A Fly Went By, and bound them together in one sturdy hardcover omnibus. A perfect introduction to reading that will whet young readers appetites for additional books in the Beginner Book series.

Eyes, ears, teeth, noses, feet, knees--practically every living thing has got them--and their variations are fascinating, especially to young children.

A perfect gift for holidays and happy occaisions of all kinds, My Big Book of Beginner Books About Me is not only a great value, it's a great "body" of work!

As topical today as when it was first published in 1938, The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins is the story of a young boy (the same one featured in the Caldecott Honor Award-winner Bartholomew and the Oobleck) and his unjust treatment at the hands of a king. Written in unrhymed prose, The 500 Hats is one of Dr. Seuss’s earliest works, and while it may not be as well-known as his other stories, the book addresses subjects that we know the good doctor was passionate about throughout his life: the abuse of power (as in Yertle the Turtle and Horton Hears a Who); rivalry (as in The Sneetches); and of course, zany good humor (as in The Cat in the Hat and all the other books he wrote and illustrated)!

Son las vacaciones de vera­no, hace un tiempo fabu­loso y todo el personal se lo pasa en grande al aire libre. ¿Y dónde está Greg Heffley? Encerrado en casa, con las cortinas echadas, jugando con la consola. Greg, que se reconoce como una "persona de interior", está viviendo sus vacaciones de verano soñadas: sin obligaciones y sin normas. Pero su madre tiene un concepto muy diferente de lo que debe ser un verano ideal... más relacionado con actividades al aire libre y "convivencia familiar". ¿Cuál de las dos visiones será la que se imponga? ¿Es posible que un nuevo fichaje lo cambie todo en la familia Heffley?

Ser casi adolescente puede resultar muy fastidioso. Nadie lo sabe mejor que Greg Heffley, inmerso en el duro am­biente del instituto, donde los chicos bajitos que aún no han pegado el estirón tienen que compartir los pasillos con grandullones que ya se afeitan dos veces al día. En Diario de Greg, el escritor y dibujante Jeff Kinney nos presenta a su antihéroe.
