When a stray dog follows Clarice Bean home, she decides it's up to her to take care of him. Now all she has to do is figure out how to keep him a secret from the rest of the family . . . Nothing ever happensexcept for sometimes. And only on rare-ish occasions, which is hardly ever. It is sweltering hot, and Clarice Bean is bored, and boredom can lead to trouble, and trouble can lead to people getting very mad at you. Not good when the person who's mad at you is your sister and she has the thing you want most of all: a pair of roller skates. How can Clarice make things right when there's this dog who won't stop following her around? Doesn't he have a home of his own to go to? She's told him to scram, but he just won't listen. Find out in this story from the inimitable Lauren Child of falling out with a sister, falling in with a dog, and doing everything wrong, only to find you've got everything right.
With the help of Lauren Child's wit and visual humor, Clarice Bean kindles the holiday spirit in a full-color illustrated novel perfect for family sharing--and certain to be a keeper. Christmas cannot be Christmas without the Christmas spirit, so it is important to keep an eye on it and not let it float away. Clarice Bean loves Christmas, and she's determined to spread tidings of joy in every possible way. That means making cards to send the neighbors, no matter how unfriendly; assisting a friend in need; stepping in at the Christmas concert; and helping out at home. But as hard as Clarice tries to spread the good cheer, it becomes clear that this holiday season will look different for the Tuesday family. Mom and Dad are too exhausted to even think of hosting their usual big gathering, decorating the tree turns into an evening of calamities, and the dog eats the turkey. But as they say, good things fall apart so better things can fall together. Maybe Clarice's creative problem-solving--and some surprise help--can inspire the Tuesdays to embrace the holiday mishaps and enjoy a day better than anyone imagined Lauren Child's beloved Clarice Bean is back--in a singular celebration of family, joy, and Christmas spirit.
From Lauren Child, multi-award-winning, bestselling creator of Charlie and Lola, comes this touchingly funny tale of being GOOD, being BAD, and most importantly, being YOU Chirton Krauss is a good child -- the very goodest. He does everything he is told, when he is told. He even does good things without being told. He eats his broccoli, he goes to bed on time, and he never, ever sticks his finger up his nose. Meanwhile, Chirton's sister, Myrtle, is NOT quite as good. She stays up late, she never cleans out the rabbit's pen, and she drops her cocoa puffs all over the rug. But what will happen when Chirton Krauss decides that being THE GOODY isn't always so good after all? Bestselling and esteemed creator Lauren Child has beautifully crafted this charmingly fresh and humorous exploration of individuality and being yourself. Her vibrant illustrations celebrate the story of two siblings discovering who they are, and how liberating it is to move beyond labels and be their authentic selves. Lauren Child brings her creative talent and insight to this universal story that every child and parent will connect with and celebrate.

Lauren Child tells the familiar tale of a less-than-welcome sibling with subtlety, insight, affection, and humor. Elmore Green starts life as an only child, as many children do. He has a room to himself, where he can line up his precious things and nobody will move them one inch. But one day everything changes. When the new small person comes along, it seems that everybody might like it a bit more than they like Elmore Green. And when the small person knocks over Elmore's things and even licks his jelly-bean collection, Elmore's parents say that he can't be angry because the small person is only small. Elmore wants the small person to go back to wherever it came from. Then, one night, everything changes. . . . In her signature visual style, Lauren Child gets to the heart of a child's evolving emotions about becoming a big brother or sister.

Pass the antivenin But snakes aren't half as poisonous as the rumors floating around Twinford. It's a lot to chew over. When trouble's out to get you and being smart isn't enough, do you run like crazy, or is it time to brush up on your martial arts?
"The latest Ruby Redfort adventure features Child's trademark wit, with clever allusions to popular culture, gentle digs at out-of-it parents, and a complex yet accessible plot." -- BooklistWild animals roaming around Twinford?

"Sunny and energetic. . . . Plenty of math is squeezed into the text, but the joy of numbers is conveyed much more effectively." -- School Library Journal Charlie and Lola are going to the store, and their mother says they may choose one thing.

Lola is nine minutes late getting ready, and on the way, there are ladybugs to count and maybe a squillion leaves on a tree.
