Simple, warm hued animals elegantly drawn. I've worked with babies to pre-K and it would be a book they'd like - especially for the gradated pages that gradually reveal more of the story.

Using the Fibonacci old age question as her muse, Gravett creatively creates a book presenting and answer the ques...

This book starts off with the 3 pigs putting up somewhat of a poster for their "show" which is also the cover of the book. The 3 pigs have captured a wild wolf, a...
