Roommates Skunk and Badger head out on a rock-finding expedition that becomes much more dangerous than they ever expected in this second book of the odd-couple series that has been compared to Wallace and Gromit and Winnie-the-Pooh. Newbery Honor author Amy Timberlake has created an instant classic with illustrations by Caldecott Medalist Jon Klassen (I Want My Hat Back, Pax). Buried in the heart of every animal is a secret treasure. For rock scientist Badger, it''s the Spider Eye Agate he found as a cub, stolen years ago by his crafty cousin, Fisher. For Badger''s roommate, Skunk, the treasure is Sundays with the New Yak Times Book Review. When an old acquaintance, Mr. G. Hedgehog, announces his plan to come for the Book Review as soon as it thumps on the doorstep, Skunk decides an adventure will solve Badger''s problems as well as his own. Surprisingly, Badger agrees. Together they set off on an agate-finding expedition at Badger''s favourite spot on Endless Lake. But all is not as it seems at Campsite #5. Fisher appears unexpectedly. Then a chicken arrives who seems intent on staying. Something is up! Indeed! Secrets, betrayals, lies … and a luminous, late-Jurassic prize. In a volume that includes full-colour plates and additional black-and-white illustrations by Caldecott medalist Jon Klassen, Newbery Honor author Amy Timberlake takes readers on a second adventure in the new series reviewers have called an instant classic, with comparisons to Frog and Toad, Winnie-the-Pooh, and The Wind in the Willows.

From Caldecott Medalist Jon Klassen comes another entry in the Your Things board book series for the youngest of children. This is your horse. It is yours to have. Your horse is brown, but it could be other colors, too. It can do a lot of things, like run, walk, and jump. But best of all, it will keep your secrets. It will never ever tell. At the end of the day, it will sleep, your secrets held behind closed eyes, and you can sleep, too. Jon Klassen brings his minimalist touch to a soothing story of a horse that a child can trust and befriend, one that is there for whatever the child needs. Building on the quiet but evocative world he created in Your Farm, Your Forest, and Your Island, Jon Klassen turns his focus to objects in Your Truck and now Your Horse, inviting young children to consider more things that are theirs and theirs alone, reinforcing that they have a right to things like solitude, exploration, and companionship.

From the incomparable Jon Klassen comes a board book for young readers who relish things that go bump in the night - while feeling safely tucked into their own house, with plenty of somebodies around. Here are all the things in this house: a chair, a clock on the wall, a stool, a lamp. And more. What''s missing from this house? Somebody. This is the house with nobody in it. Well, there might be something . . . Designed as an oversize board book, this story takes young ones through a recognizable, cozy house, while die cuts introduce just a hint of precarity. This is the house with nobody in it--or is it? Ideal for children whose older siblings are fans of Jon Klassen''s The Skull--readers who aren''t quite ready for "creepy" but are totally on board with being gently spooked--this is classic Klassen, revealing a bit of mystery out there before bringing us back into the familiar . . . shifty eyes and all.
