New Releases by Steven Kellogg

Pinkerton doesn''t understand his owner’s commands. When told to come, he jumps out the window. When asked to fetch, he destroys the slippers instead. Pinkerton’s desperate owners take him to obedience school, but he flunks out in record time. Then one night a burglar breaks into their house, and Pinkerton is able to put his bad habits to good use. This silly charmer of a story was included on the Booklist and Horn Book best of the year lists and inspired four sequels about the impossibly clueless but irresistibly sweet Pinkerton. Now, in honor of its 35th anniversary, Steven Kellogg has updated the art and text (most notably removing the gun that appeared in the original edition), and has written an introductory note about the book’s history.

"Eric Carle, Nick Bruel, Lucy Cousins, Susan Jeffers, Steven Kellogg, Jon Klassen, Tom Lichtenheld, Peter McCarty, Chris Raschka, Peter Sis, Lane Smith, Erin Stead, Rosemary Wells and Mo Willems. Everybody has a favorite animal. Some like little white dogs or big black cats or hoppy brown bunnies best. Others prefer squishy snails or tall giraffes or sleek black panthers. With beautiful illustrations and charming personal stories, 14 children''s book artists share their favorite animals and why they love them"--

Scenes illustrating the popular children''s rhyme feature animals and objects that begin with the letters A to Z

For more than thirty years, Steven Kellogg has been delighting young readers with his bright, lively books full of feisty imagination and silliness --and always perfectly expressing children''s thoughts and dreams. As his friend Helen Hunt says in her introduction to this treasury, Steven''s books "give voice and bring humor to the mischievous in all of us." Because of that, Steven Kellogg has become one of our most loved picture book creators. For the first time, here is a treasury of Steven''s books, including many of his bestsellers (The Mysterious Tadpole, The Island of the Skog, Jimmy''s Boa, Best Friends and others) and several little-known books that have been unavailable for many years. In all, eleven books are included--eleven gems to pore over again and again. And as an added bonus, there is also a biographical profile of Steven, complete with many photos and even some never-before-seen sketches. This is a compendium for every child--those who already love Steven Kellogg''s books, and those who are soon to love them.
