Stumpkin was one of many pumpkins in the store window, waiting to be picked to become a jack-o-lantern.   Even though he was a perfectly shaped pumpkin, unfortunately, he didn’t have a stem.  Halloween finally came and Stumpkin was the only pumpkin left.  Don’t worry, this story has a very happy ending and is a truly beautiful book.  Please don’t miss this one!

The ultimate question in this book is who is having a lucky day.  The hungry fox in our story is so happy to see the little pig at his door, but things do not work out as he planned.  Children will love hearing about how the pig outsmarted the fox over and over again.  This delightful story with amazing illustrations is a must read!

Duck Soup, a New York Times bestseller, is a must read!  It is a sequel to Duck at the Door , which we will highlight very soon.  In our story, Max the Duck is making soup for his family and leaves the house to get herbs.   His animal family become convinced that he is lost in the large kettle of soup and want to save him.  Chaos ensues!  The family ended up having pizza for dinner.  This is such a fun book and should not be missed.
