Have you ever been lost? Has a friend
ever helped you find your way back
home? While Vernon the toad was out
foraging for interesting things, he
found a new friend, Bird. He was a
small blue bird who was curiously
silent. Vernon introduced Bird to Skunk
and Porcupine. Then he showed Bird the
river and the forest. They went
foraging together and cloud watching
too. Bird stayed silent. Vernon was
worried that Bird was not happy. Skunk
and Porcupine suggested that maybe Bird
is lost and misses his home. So Vernon
and Bird set off on a journey to find
Bird’s home. Do they find it? Is Bird
finally happy? Will Bird ever speak?

A is for Apple? Not if Musk Ox has his
say in this colorful, rollicking ABC
book! Did you know that A is for Musk
Ox? And so is B and C and D… you get
the idea. Of course B is for Musk Ox
because his fur is brown and what about
D? Well, Musk Oxen are Daring… and
they are “N”ice in their “U”nderwool.
It seems the only letter that Musk Oxen
are not is P. What is P you might
ask? P is for wolf! To find out why,
you should make like a Musk Ox and
be “I” for “I”ntelligent and read this
clever book.

This is a wise old saying that less is
more. Will one magpie agree with this
saying? In the beginning, one magpie
starts out with absolutely nothing and
is sad. A mouse friend gives him a
marble which makes him happy. The
magpie starts collecting stuff and
keeps collecting stuff. Could he
possibly
collect too much stuff? What will
happen to
the magpie? Luckily, the magpie has
some good mice friends. The
illustrations are excellent in this
picture book. It is
fun to notice the various items that
the magpie collects and readers will
see the magpie is
wearing a leg band with numbers on it.
