New Releases by Barbara Emberley

A lulling, rhythmic reissue of this timeless children's classic captures the magic and wonder of nighttime

For use in schools and libraries only. Ed Emberley won the 1968 Caldecott Medal for his bold illustrations for Barbara Emberley's jaunty adaptation of the cumulative folk song. Tells of seven soldiers who build a magnificent cannon and Drummer Hoff, who fires it off.

Tells how Paul Bunyan, the mighty lumberjack, cleared the States of Iowa and Kansas, dug the Mississippi River, and performed other feats with his blue ox, Babe.

After finally finding the perfect gift for his nephew's birthday, a handyman wrestles with the temptation to keep the present for himself.

In this old nursery rhyme, a simple fellow is involved in one witless escapade after another.

Woodcut illustrations and brief text from an American folk song relate the story of the animals on Noah's ark. Following the song, the illustrations give practice counting from 1 to 10.
