High on a mountain live 100 mighty dragons all named Broccoli. When a tremendous wind blows half the dragons away, ten others sail off to become professional surfers in Hawaii. The oldest and youngest dragons take a train to New York City to start their own heavy metal band. And a mysterious wizard turns four more into a unicorn, a werewolf, a zombie, and a tiny pink poodle. Now how many dragons are left? Young readers will delight in following each and every dragon as they leave their home for marvelous adventures, until there is but one dragon remaining. That's when this final dragon named Broccoli retreats to a cave for the winter and reappears in the spring with a surprise that will thrill and delight. Prepare to read again!

From two Theodor Seuss Geisel Award–winning creators comes a funny and handy guide that explains just how (and how not!) to say “I’m sorry.”Wouldn’t the world be a better place if everyone knew how to apologise? Luckily, this humorous guidebook is full of practical tips about when, why, and how to say you’re sorry. From a porcupine who accidentally popped his friend’s balloon to a snail who was running so fast he stepped on a sloth’s toes, hilarious examples and sweet illustrations abound. For both listeners who are just learning and older readers who need a refresher, this book will come as a welcome reminder that even though apologising can be hard, it doesn’t have to be complicated.

In a hilarious interactive picture book, the Geisel Award–winning creators of See the Cat challenge kids to answer every question with “NO” – even when their brain keeps insisting “YES.”“Brilliantly witty. Take kids on a vicarious adventure of sneaky questions designed to trip up and amuse listeners in equal measure. A clever, hilarious picture book!” Booklist Starred Review“A laugh-out-loud marvel of excess and pacing. . . . There’s no penalty for rereading this hilarious, irresistible book.” Kirkus ReviewsCan you beat Mr Fox at his Game of No? The rules are simple: every time he asks a question, you must respond with “NO.” If you accidentally say “YES,” then it’s back to the beginning of the book for you, where you must start all over again. Are you ready? (Oops!) Do you live on planet Earth? Are you stronger than a baby? What does Y-E-S spell? (Argh!) Kids will giggle uncontrollably as they gamely aim to avoid Mr Fox’s clever traps – but just ask them if they’d like to read this book again, and they won’t be able to resist: “YES!”Have you read this one?How to Apologise
