The Day It All Blew Away
The Red Shoes
Surrounded by hat-tippers who are always tipping their hats and shunning those who don't return the favor, poor Mr. Tadaa has a head too big for his hat. Even worse, the Little Person's hat is so big it wears him. One blustery day, Mr. Tadaa's hat and the Little Person are blown away by the wind... and right into each other! A surprise twist at the end shows that even in a world of hat-tippers, nonconformists can find happiness and friendship.
 
All of the shoes in the shoe store are plain and dull except for one pair: the apple red shoes, just waiting to be picked. The little girl knows that they are the shoes for her, but can she convince her mom? This cheerful tale is matched with charming illustrations that depict the fashions of the 1960s.
Monkey World
Monkey World Calendar
What if monkeys were astronauts, pirates, cowboys and queens? This zany book of ABC poetry is boldly illustrated by Matthew Porter with images painted on pine boards that were sanded for texture to show the wood's grain, then finished with a veneer. Edgy yet lovable, Porter's monkeys are already bestsellers, but this is the first time they've come together in one collection.
 
This wall calendar features the characters from Monkey World engaged in fighting octopuses, slaying dragons, and landing on the moon. It comes with a free 28 page, 7” x 7” coloring calendar.
