Animals Scare Me Stiff

In this hilarious twist on one of the most difficult discussions in a child's development, award winning author Babette Cole illustrates the one question all children are bound to ask: Where do babies come from? Mom explains that you can make babies out of gingerbread, grow them from seeds, or squeeze them out of tubes, while Dad says you can find babies under rocks. Amused by their parents' silly answers, the children decide to set the adults straight. In a series of zany diagrams, the children show the adults exactly where babies come from. The offbeat illustrations are accompanied by a text that is short, simple, and anything but predictable. This is a funny book that will delight, entertain, and educate the entire family.

TrueLove

"Truelove is a puppy who adores his family. But when a new baby arrives, Truelove begins to feel left out. He loses his spot on the bed, gets yelled at for sharing his mouse, and when he tries to tell his family how much he loves them, they put him outside for singing too loud. How can Truelove show his family what real love is all about? With her trademark humor and irresistible illustrations, Babette Cole has created a book that is both tongue-in-cheek and touching."
