New Releases by John Segal

For any young child (or pig), there are few things more excruciating, more traumatic, more torturous than bathtime. And this little pig is putting his hoof down. No. More. BATHS. But how can he possibly accomplish this? Well, by being someone else, of course. After all, everyone knows that pirates, astronauts, and knights in shining armor-just to name a few-never, EVER take baths. Now if only he can convince his mother . . . In his hilarious new picture book that is sure to become an integral part of bathtime routines, John Segal documents one particular skirmish in this never-ending battle of wills.

One bossy cat. One nervous beagle. Two best friends. When Alistair and Kip set out to sea, they quickly find themselves in deep water. Who will come to the rescue? Join them and have a whale of a time in John Segal''s charming tale of adventure and friendship.

That?s it. I?m leaving. Tonight. Forever. What child hasn?t wanted to pack up his worldly belongings and run away to teach his parents a lesson? That?s just what this pig plans to do! But when he, and his helpful mother, consider what those worldly belongings involve?tent, sleeping bag, clothes, pets, toys?he realizes everything he needs is right where he is. And, more importantly, so is everyone he needs. John Segal gives this universal story a warm and funny treatment full of hilarious details and a pig you won?t soon forget.

Moose has no family, no friends, and rarely entertains visitors. That is, until the day he rescues a bird that cannot fly. Bird turns Moose''s solitary life upside down. He sings in the mornings, talks all day long, and he likes to eat worms! As the days become weeks, Moose and Bird form a special friendship. They eat pond weeds for breakfast, swim every afternoon, and sometimes climb to the very top of the mountain just to enjoy the view. So when a forest fire separates the two friends, Moose is distraught. Bird still hasnâ€TMt learned to fly, how could he have survived? Fortunately, before Moose is able to return to his old ways, Bird finds him once again...and this time brings along a few new friends!
