Buzzing with energy and humor, bestselling Caldecott Honor illustrator David Shannon presents a busy little bee who -- like most people -- won't slow down to enjoy the simple joys in life. Lizzie is the busiest, buzziest bee in Hivetown David Shannon's vivid artwork and Lizzie's endearing efforts to "do it all" will make children laugh aloud at her frantic antics as she juggles school, multiple sports, dance, violin, and art. With charm and determination, she longs to impress the Queen by winning a spelling contest, but she studies to the point of exhaustion. When she dozes off in the middle of the competition, the only solution is rest -- and her refreshing visit to the local Garden finally teaches Lizzie to stop and smell the flowers, "which . . . is exactly what bees are supposed to do." Shannon's exuberant new book is funny and fresh, approaching the subject of over scheduled children (and adults) with breezy good humor and delivered with his signature fun and heart.

Angels, demons, elves, Santa Claus, flying horses, and other fantastic beings are all part of the North Pole and this book. The Faces of Krampus is based on the goings on of Black Peter and Santa Claus on the 5th of December. While much of the focus in December is toward Christmas, Santa also participates in the honoring and celebration of his relative St. Nicholas. That night Santa visits the good children of Europe bringing treats and goodies on his flying horse. But sometimes children are not behaving as they should. So Santa Claus doesn't come alone. Meet the bringer of punishments to naughty children. They call him by many names: Black Peter, Krampus, Pelznickel, Knecht Ruprecht, Hanstrapp, Black Pit, and more. But they all refer to the same person, the enforcer of St. Nicholas. A simple chimney sweep who was bullied and mistreated by others becomes the most feared being of winter. But he has a problem of his own when the devil and his demon muscle in on Krampus' territory. Now the harbinger to naughty children must become the protector of those same children. And he is going to need help from on high to face the devil.
