"The heartwarming tale of one little lamb''s first snowy adventure"--

Long ago, the only berries on the tundra were hard, tasteless, little crowberries. As Anana watches the ladies complain bitterly while picking berries for the Fall Festival, she decides to use her magic to help. ""Atsa-ii-yaa (Berry), Atsa-ii-yaa (Berry), Atsaukina "" (Be a berry ), Anana sings under the full moon turning four dolls into little girls that run and tumble over the tundra creating patches of fat, juicy berries: blueberries, cranberries, salmonberries, and raspberries. The next morning Anana and the ladies fill basket after basket with berries for the Fall Festival. Thanks to Anana, there are plenty of tasty berries for the agutak (Eskimo tee cream) at the festival and forevermore. As she did with THE EYE OF THE NEEDLE (praised by the New York Times Book Review, a San Francisco Chronicle Choice, and a Maryland Black-Eyed Susan Picture Book Award winner), Yup''ik Eskimo elder Betty Huffmon shared this folktale with author/illustrator Teri Sloat, who brings it to life with her delightful illustrations.

When a child looks up to find drawings on the ceiling of a cave, she wonders how they were painted. Planets that spin, the birds and the beasts, woman and man--how did the old man in the sky paint it all? Based on the 1879 discovery of ceiling paintings in Spain''s Altamira Cave, this imaginative story expresses the awe of contemplating the creation of the world and locating beauty in an unexpected place. Children will revel in this timeless tale with truly breathtaking images.

After a series of mishaps involving crumbs, drips, splatters, and spills, the neat and tidy house that Mom left is a mess.

Christmas poems bearing wishes for peace throughout the world "When Santa returns from making his rounds, The letters he’s answered lie drifted in mounds. He calls the North Wind to blow them around, And pieces of Christmas come swirling down." Each of the stamps on the letters to Santa paint a different, enchanting picture of holiday spirit all over the world. Crocodiles stop at crocodilian cookie shops and javelinas hop at a jingling jamboree! In these fanciful verses, animals from Africa to Antarctica celebrate Christmas in their own very special ways.

Farmer Brown and all his animals are ready for sleep, but a tiny whiny humming sound keeps them awake.

Farmer Brown shears his sheep and has their wool made into yarn, but after they beg to have it back he knits the yarn into sweaters for them. Silly antics, toe-tapping verse, a clever solution, and some mighty determined sheep will have young readers clamoring for this story again and again. Full-color illustrations.

In a silly romp by the author of The Thing That Bothered Farmer Brown, a twister strikes Farmer Brown''s farm and mixes the animals all up, so that the cows oink, sheep cluck, hens bray, and his hound neighs.

Set on the coast of the Pacific Northwest, this variation on the traditional cumulative rhyme describes the silly consequences of an old woman''s fishy diet.
