Little Oink, by Amy Krouse Rosenthal - The Trailer!


From the bestselling creators of Little Pea and Little Hoot - Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Jen Corace - comes this tidy tale of a decidedly different little pig. Little Oink is a neat little fellow. Clean, clean, clean, that's all he wants to do. But Mama and Papa won't have it! They say in order to be a proper pig, he has to learn to make a proper mess. "Don't come out until your room is a pigsty," says Papa Pig. "I won't have any child of mine going out looking so neat and clean. It's just not acceptable," says Mama Pig. Readers who hate to clean up will love this humorous twist on a universal dilemma. Available May 2009 from Chronicle Books.

Amy Krouse Rosenthal - The Wonder Book


Meet children's book author Amy Krouse Rosenthal and learn all about her latest project, The Wonder Book! More About The Wonder Book: www.harpercollinschildrens.com Hello, You! So . . . this book is full of stuff I've always wondered about . . . Like: Did Miss Mary Mack have friends who liked other colors? Could everything important about the world be summarized in a poem that rhymes? How do Moms always know when you're about to sneak a cookie? Who hid something under the Tooth Fairy's pillow when she was a little girl? Inside you will find stories, short poems, lists, palindromes, visual treats, and random observations. Some parts are happy, some sad-ish, some silly, some serious, some crunchy, some with a soft center. You can open the book up anywhere and read. So the beginning could be the end, and the end could be the beginning. But I guess the middle is always the middle. . . . PS aren't Paul's drawings the best?!
