Flotsam

This award winning children's book is a cinematic unfolding of discovery.


If You Give a Moose a Muffin

My 4 year-old loves this book. Like the other books by Laura Numeroff, this book takes the reader through a fun and wild adventure that begins with a single phrase: "If you give a moose a muffin".


The Scallywags

This book shows that even big bad wolves can learn good manners. The Scallywags are a group of wolves who make the lives of the other animals miserable with their bad manners and rough ways.
