He begins to leave his stories (that he also illustrates) in different parts of the library - the mystery he writes he places alongside the other mysteries; the fairytale goes with similar books and so on.

Animals

When the National Animal Chorus gathers to perform the immortal works of Mr. Herbert Timberteeth, the performance doesn't go exactly as planned.

With all the dissension and mayhem, will the show still go on? This hilarious picture book delivers a subtle message about stereotyping that kids, who are so often pigeon-holed themselves, will appreciate.
