“Steve is a fine horse. But he thinks he could be finer. He wants to be EXCEPTIONAL.” When Steve finds a gold horn in the forest and attaches it to his head, ta-da! Exceptional! His friends are so impressed, they, too, attach objects to their own heads, in an effort to be as exceptional as Steve. So when Steve suddenly realizes his horn has gone missing, he’s devastated! He won’t be exceptional without his horn! Or will he? A laugh-out-loud tale of an endearingly self-absorbed horse who learns that there’s more than one way to blow your own horn!
The first installment in a hilarious early graphic novel series, based on Kelly Collier’s popular picture book introducing the one and only (just ask him!) Steve the Horse. Steve the Horse wants to be exceptional … you know, like a peacock! His friend Bob tries to reassure him that he’s special, but Bob can’t seem to think of anything exceptional about him. Steve is discouraged ... That is, until he finds a shiny gold horn in the forest. Obviously, somebody left this exceptional horn for him to find! He ties it to his head and prances off to show his friends. Who’s exceptional now? Steve, that’s who! Only, as Steve’s friends make clear, dressing up and showing off are not the answer. Kids will relate to both the humor and life lessons from this endearingly oblivious horse!

The Folk and Their Fauna: The Story of One Man’s Love Affair with Animals is a collection of true stories about domestic and wild animals. The author has taken some of the countless tales from his lifelong association with animals and written a sensitive book about the creatures he knows and loves. His stories are sometimes funny, sometimes sad, and sometimes painful. Yet each incident shows an insight into the majestic cycle of living things. The Folk and Their Fauna, with its eloquent descriptions of animal personalities, promises to entertain every animal lover. Second only to the weather, the author remarks, people enjoy talking about their beloved animals. Indeed, like our attraction to animals, the appeal of this book is natural.
By 1972, President Richard Nixon had reached the heights of political power and popularity, only to self-destruct due to his role in a third-rate burglary called Watergate. Nixon resigned in disgrace, and, for the first time in history, Americans came to be led by an unelected President and Vice President -- Gerald Ford and Nelson Rockefeller. But Americans had much more on their minds than mere politics -- movies, TV, sports, earning a living, etc. Hollywood motion pictures, including The Godfather, Jaws, and Star Wars, captured their imaginations, while weekly TV shows such as All in the Family and Happy Days made them laugh, and Monday Night Football kept their competitive juices flowing. To no ones surprise, UCLA continued to win NCAA basketball championships, and such schools as Alabama, Arkansas, Michigan, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Penn State, Texas, and USC remained dominant on the gridiron. And professional sports, thanks to such super-stars as BIllie Jean King, Kareem Abul-Jabbar, Henry Aaron, Jack Nicklaus, Muhammad Ali, Al Unser, and Terry Bradshaw, became more popular than ever. But who could have predicted at the beginning of the decade that a young high school dropout named John Travolta and a band called the Bees Gees would become the kings of Disco Dancing? Or that a peanut farmer from Georgia would be elected President during our Bicentennial Year?

So, Isabel and Zoë start their own Bigger Amount of Fun in the Sun Camp in the backyard, with Rollo, instead. But is ketchup safe for dogs?

The first title in a hilarious new chapter book series for emerging readers. Isabel and Zoë are favorite friends — most of the time. They have side-by-side cubbies. And they never take off their friendship bracelets. But sometimes, Isabel isn’t Zoë’s favorite friend at all. Because sometimes, the fun things they do end in a no-fun way. Like getting sent to the principal’s office because of Isabel’s shenanigans. Now Zoë’s mad at Isabel, and Isabel’s miserable. Isabel’s trying everything to win her friend back. Will getting a new puppy help Isabel mend her friendship with Zoë? There’s a new girl in town for early readers to love, love, love — and she comes with a fluffy sidekick!
A sweet, funny story about identity - and knowing where we belong. Why, of course Donkey’s a cat. He licks his fur, pounces and perches in high places, just like the other cats on the farm. Though, sometimes, he does feel … a little off. So, when Farmer says to him, “Donkey, you’re acting like a cat!” it gets him thinking. What if he’s not a cat? And if not, then what is he? Will going off on his own help Donkey figure out what he is and where he belongs? Cat or not, any litter would be thrilled to have this lovable Donkey in their barnyard!
Isabel and Rollo are back … but, who’s in the doghouse now? Isabel’s dog, Rollo — “the cutest, funniest puppy” — just doesn’t seem like himself lately. Besides not fitting into her best friend Zoë’s doll clothes anymore, he’s become much harder to handle. Like when he pulls away from both girls to chase a squirrel — then keeps running! Or when he eats everyone’s ice cream right off the table! Sure, Isabel bent the rules (or, um, had no rules?) for Rollo when he was a baby. But now he’s a teenager — and he’s out of control!! Is there a cure for this? Has Isabel created a monster?! Kids won’t be able to look away!
