Wallace Edwards'' final book is a beautiful and inspiring invitation to reimagine the limits of possibility. I''ve heard it said that pigs can''t fly,They never leave the ground.But I have gazed up at the skyAnd watched the flying pigs go by. They never made a sound. Wallace Edwards'' work has delighted children and their adults for decades with its wholly original combination of stunning artwork and witty, absorbing observations. Here, flying pigs, a bagpipe-playing frog, a juggling mouse, a penguin on a bike and more join together in a whimsical collection of rhymes and exquisite art that will open minds and tickle the reader''s imagination. Brimming with humour and joy, Pigs Can''t Fly is a gift of a book from a brilliant mind, and an open-ended invitation to make the impossible possible!

Where do ideas come from? Everywhere! From the mind and paintbrush of one of Canada''s best-loved children''s book creators comes a visually delightful story about ideas, creative expression, and mindfulness. When our hero, a pig, stares at his empty canvas, he feels like he doesn''t have any new ideas. So he sets off to find inspiration. Does he really go anywhere, or is it mostly in his mind? That''s up to the reader, but a fantastic journey winds him through lots of interesting places, surreal and everyday, which provide a feast for his senses. When he''s had enough, he heads home, full of ideas. He returns to his canvas and paints something that was always close to home -- just outside his door, in fact -- but that he now sees in a new light as a result of his creative journey. Full of humour, whimsy, and wisdom, Can You Imagine? is a great jumping-off point for thinking about where to find ideas (everywhere!), taking in the world around you, and listening to yourself to find your creativity.

★★★ The real story behind Poe''s story ★★★ The murder of Mary Rogers may not be well known today, but in the 19th century, it was one of the most compelling murders of the century. It became a national sensation--so much so that Edgar Allan Poe used it as the inspiration for his story "The Mystery of Marie Roget." This chilling narrative will take you back in time to 1838, where you will learn the details of the case and how it became a national phenomenon.

★★★ Discover America''s First Killers ★★★ They murdered. They stole. And they did it all to excess. Unlike other bandits of early America, they didn''t do it for the money--they did it for the thrill and love of blood. They were the Harpe Brothers, and they have been called America''s first true serial killers. In this gripping narrative, the crimes and the lives of America''s most notorious sibling killers are documented like a page-turning novel.

Sometimes you find friendship where you least expect it! Ernest is flying his kite when it gets stuck in a tree. At the same moment, there''s a flash in the sky, followed by a loud crash! He sets out on a difficult journey up a mountain to find out what happened. When he discovers a strange being has landed at the top, Ernest hides in fear. But he soon realizes that this creature needs his help. As they find ways to understand each other, it becomes clear that solving their problems together means they are no longer strangers - they are friends! Told in spare text and perfectly paced art in panels and full pages, this visually rich story brings through themes that are both timely and timeless -- to challenge first impressions, to find strength in differences, and to understand important needs we all share.

Award-winning author-illustrator Wallace Edwards is striking out in a bold new artistic direction. Woodrow At Sea is a friendship story in the tradition of the great epics, but made accessible to the very young. Loose, energetic illustrations carry the story in this wordless picture book, which is packaged in a sturdy book format with a padded cover, extra-heavy pages, rounded corners, and a reinforced binding. Little ones will cheer for Woodrow the elephant and his mouse friend while narrating the companions’ tale: a lonely journey; an unlikely encounter; a brave rescue; and a series of adventures, each more exciting than the last. The story will vary with the imagination of each teller, but in the end everyone will agree on one thing: no matter what you are seeking on your journey, the best treasure you can find is a true friend.

One rainy night, Wally''s family finds an old steamer trunk in the attic. Inside is a pile of paintings drawn from a single line from an enchanted pen. They could only belong to Uncle George, who believed that all stories begin with one line and a rich imagination. Award-winning author and illustrator Wallace Edwards explores the world of storytelling through a single pen line that grows into an image and the first line of a new story. Readers will be inspired to finish the simple stories that begin with "Once Upon a Line" or use the enchanted story line to tell their own unique tale. A key at the end of the book identifies the single line that is at the core of each image. An absorbing book filled with paintings rich in detail and color.

A stunning, thought-provoking look at finding peace in children''s lives. Peace is a familiar word, its meaning both simple and complex. Here, Wallace Edwards explores peace and invites young readers to think about what that means to them. Through a series of linked questions combined with Edwards''s singular art, the concept of peace is picked up, shaken, turned all around, and carefully examined from every angle. Children experience stress, even violence, at home and at school and bear witness to news stories and family histories. There are many books on war for children; far fewer that examine peace. What Is Peace? engages readers to think about peace in their day-to-day lives, and around the world.

Modern crime is PG compared to the stuff that happened years ago. This collection shows that crimes of our past are often more brutal than anything that would come after it.

These books may always be purchased individually.

The rumored famous last words of serial killer Thomas Neill Cream was "I am Jack the..." Cream was in prison at the time of the Ripper murders, but that didn''t matter...he was fascinated by London''s premiere serial killer, and perhaps a part of him believed that his own killings established some kind of killer bond. Cream may not have been the infamous Jack the Ripper, but he was just as brutal and sadistic. Cream could have settled being a respected surgeon, but there was something about taking a human life that he just could not resist. In this book, we''ll take you on the trail of this doctor turned madman--from his first murders to his ultimate capture and trial.

How did Sir Arthur Conan Doyle create a character so real and life-like? In a nutshell: he didn''t! As is often the case, fiction stems from real life. In the case of Sherlock Holmes, Doyle''s inspiration was Joseph Bell. While Joseph Bell doesn''t have near the fame of his fictitious counterpart, Bell was actually a pioneer of forensic science. Bell''s unique skills at observation and deduction made him a celebrity and famous lecturer in his homeland of Scotland. This book traces the life and times of one of the most important, but largely overlooked, scientists who ever lived.

From the acclaimed Wallace Edwards comes his second collection of idioms, a companion to the award-winning Monkey Business.

To ensure you get the hang of it, each expression is used in a sentence and explained at the back of the book. And if you look closely you''ll discover a cat hidden in every painting; some cats are a piece of cake to find, others may require you to use your noodle. A gorgeously illustrated eye-spy book and a unique introduction to idioms, this book is truly the cat''s meow.
