Being kidnapped is not as thrilling as one courageous girl had hoped.  Her big, ugly villain turns out to be an ordinary child cruncher.  What a disappointment! Instead of taking her on all sorts of adventures, he only wants to eat her up.  Luckily, she knows just what to do.

Action & Adventure

"Between two trees, high above grass and ground, Turtle, Bat, Octopus, Bird and Buck are sleeping in a hammock. Suddenly, Turtle opens his eyes. 'Hey,' he whispers. 'Do you hear what I hear?'" Each animal's imagination runs wild with what wild creature may be making the sound they all hear. Is it a giant turtle? Or a bird with a giant beak? Perhaps it is Bat-Tur-Octo-Bird- Buck. Luckily for the small animals, it isn't any of these creatures. It is just their old friend Elephant who was out wandering around. The animals invite him to join them in the hammock and soon the wild imaginings about the night noises begin all over again.

One beautiful morning, Ophelia wakes and stretches, only to hear Kevin moaning from far away. Being a concerned hippopotamus, she leaps out of the water and goes running to help.
Along the way, Ophelia passes Meerkat and tells him that Kevin has a stomachache. Meerkat grabs a hot water bottle and sprints to the rescue, telling Frog of Kevin's terrible cramp and sore throat. Frog fixes herbal tea, jogs off, and tells Porcupine that Kevin has pains everywhere. Pains become a broken leg to Rhino, and a body full of broken bones to Toucan. News of Kevin's moaning becomes so exaggerated that, by the time Toucan talks to Turtle, Toucan reports that Kevin is dead.
As the friends mourn, Ophelia and Kevin walk to them. Amazed that their dearest crocodile is still alive, the friends find that Kevin only had butterflies in his stomach.
In this peppy picture book by award-winning duo Ingrid and Dieter Schubert, animal friends learn that though nervousness is not lethal, a little exaggeration sure makes it contagious!

Getting dressed can be an adventure! After taking a bath, a boy must put on his clothes—but where are they? Children as well as adults will recognize the mystery of the lost sock.

Look closely, and you will see clothes hidden among the jumble of images and objects. The illustrations are accompanied by a simple text (“Where is my yellow sock?” “Where is my red sweater?”). The more a child looks at the book, the more he or she will discover.
