Can Poe get Pepper to accept him as part of the family? This hilarious story reinvents the age-old new sibling topic with a furry twist, taking an emotionally heavy subject and masking it with humor--all while reinforcing the days of the week!

Dave loves his cave. But what if there’s a better cave out there, with greener grass and bigger rocks? Dave loves his cave. The inside is decorated exactly the way he likes it. There’s a spot for a fire and the grass is always green. But what if there’s a better cave out there, with greener grass and bigger rocks? Dave needs to find out for himself. But it turns out that good caves are hard to find—they’re either too noisy, or too spare, or too crowded, until he finds one in particular that looks much more promising. The rocks are big, and the grass is greener than any he’s ever seen . . . but why does it look so familiar? This humorous romp from celebrated author-illustrator Frann Preston-Gannon reminds readers that sometimes there’s no place like home.

How To Lose A Lemur

How to Lose a Lemur

Everyone knows that once a lemur takes a fancy to you there is not much that can be done about it. That's just what happens to a little boy when a lemur begins to follow him in the park one day—and more of the adoring animals join in. The boy does everything to ditch the playful creatures, from jumping on a train to flying in a hot-air balloon to climbing the highest mountain. But nothing works—AND he's lost, too! It's then that his constant companions show just why they make the very best of friends. The parade of lovable lemurs, and the playful illustrations, will have children laughing, reading this again and again-and wishing they could have a pet like that, too.

In this funny follow-up to Dave's Cave, two lovable cavemen endeavor to make their rocks the very best they can — inventing, in the process, something rather remarkable. Dave loves his rock. Jon loves his rock, too. The two buddies compete over whose rock is biggest, fastest, prettiest, and tallest. When they discover that granite has so much more potential than its natural state, the two friends begin to chisel new shapes, tossing and playing games with their now-rounded rocks. But their woodland friends have other (genius) ideas for how to use these new shapes — as circles with holes in the middle. Anyone up for a ride?
