CAPS FOR SALE

Ages 3 to 7

"Caps!  Caps for sale!  Fifty cents a cap!" calls the peddler walking up and down the street.  He balances a huge stack of caps on his head - gray, brown, blue, and red - all piled on his own checked cap.  One day he stops under a tree to take a nap.  When he wakes up, the gray, brown, blue, and red caps have all disappeared!  The only one left is his own checked cap.  Where on earth can the others be?

"From an old folk take [the author] has fashioned this bright picture book, infusing it with a humor which seems to have sprung from her own hearty enjoyment of the troubles of a peddler with a band of monkeys."
- The New York Times

Ages 3 to 6

A little boy plants a carot seed.  His mother says, "I'm afraid it won't come up."  His father and big brother agree.  At first, it seems they're right.  But the little boy knows better.  So every day, he pulls up weeds and waters the ground.  Until, one day, just as the little boy knew it would, something special happens.

Ruth Krauss is the author of the Caldecott Honor Book THE HAPPY DAY illustrated by Marc Simont and A HOLE IS TO DIG, illustrated by Maurice Sendak, both available in Harper Trophy editions.  Crocket Johnson is the much loved author and illustrator of the popular Harold series, available in Harper Trophy editions.

There was only one way for Chester to do things - hiw own way.  Wilson did things the same way; they were best friends.  From double knotting their shoes to cutting their sandwiches diagonally, Chester and Wilson were two of a kind. 

"They really are two peas in a pod," said Chester's mother.

"Looks like it," said Chester's father.

From morning to night - and in every way - they were inseperable.  But then they met Lily... and extraordinary things happened in their friendship.

If food dropped like rain from the sky, wouldn't it be marvelous!  Wouldn't it?  It could, after all, be messy.  And you'd have no choice.  What if you didn;t like what fell?  Or what if too much came?  Have you ever thought of what it might be like to be squashed flat by a pancake?

THE CRIPPLED LAMB

JOSHUA, the black and white spotted lamb, longed to be like other lambs.  He wondered why he had to limp along with a crippled leg, instead of running and playing in the meadow.

Because Joshua the lamb was different, he often felt left out.  Yet God had a very special plan for his life, as He does for all who feel alone.  Joshua not only witnessed the greatest event in history, he was able to give the newborn King the one thing He needed most.

Lucado was joined by his daughters to write his most touching children's story yet.

The Beginner Book Story

"Ten years ago Dr. Suess took 220 words, rhymed them, and turned out THE CAT IN THE HAT, a little volume of absurdity that worked like a karate chop on the weary little world of Dick, Jane and Spot." - Ellen Goodman THE DETROIT FREE PRESS, NOV. 1966

From this magically right beginning came the concept of Beginners Books, exacting blends of words and pictures that encourage children to read - all by themselves.  Hailed by elementary educators and remedial reading specialists, these enormously popular books are now used in schools and libraries throughout the English-speaking world.
