ANIMATED DON'T LET THE PIGEON STAY UP LATE!

2011-11-08T13:16:00.000-08:00

It’s getting dark out, but one stubborn Pigeon is NOT going to bed! Children will love this interactive bedtime romp, which puts readers back in the driver’s seat, deflecting Pigeon’s sly trickery as he tries to escape his inevitable bedtime. Will you let him stay up late? Narrated by Mo Willems and Jon Scieszka with music by Scotty Huff and Robert Reynolds. Directed by Pete List.

In a starred review, SLJ says:

Oh that pigeon-the embodiment of every kid's secret desires. Now he wants to stay up late. The bus driver, in nightcap and pajamas, warns children not to be swayed by the pigeon's arguments. That doesn't stop our plumed persuader from trying to have his way. The book by Mo Willems (Hyperion, 2006) is the third of the popular Pigeon series. In this production, Willems is the pigeon, while Jon Scieszka pops in for a brief stint as the bus driver. The book, while delightful, is very short. To expand it for this production, it has been animated and somewhat augmented with additional illustrations and a tad more text. Be sure to watch the end which goes off on a fun hotdog/bus/bunny tangent. Children's reactions are part of the audio and will encourage young audiences to participate. An interview with the author provides insights and shows him reading the book to a group of children. Subtitles are optional. The book/CD combination would be a great reading center for kindergarten or first-grade classrooms. This delightful production will have viewers giggling even as they begin to yawn.

Available for Schools and Libraries Here.

Dear Bully

2011-09-06T08:00:00.000-07:00

CITY DOG, COUNTRY FROG

2010-03-30T06:07:00.000-07:00

A story of friends, seasons, and change. The first collaboration between Mo Willems and the great Jon J Muth.

A New York Times Bestseller!

Booklist says in a starred review:

It’s hard to imagine a picture book that more consistently (and touchingly) hits all the right notes. Willems, never one to overwrite, is gracefully spare here, making every word count. That leaves room for Muth’s watercolors, richly seasonal, which fill each page. The pictures are imbued with hope and happiness, leaving and longing. This wonderful collaboration makes a significant impact with subtlety and wit. Adults and children will each take away something of their own.

A POP-OUT book!

Big Frog is big. Quite big. So big this book can't hold her. But with a lot of help from some good friends, Big Frog will fit in just fine!

The New York Times says:

"The poses (engineering by Bruce Foster) will get surefire laughs at first sight of the frog: legs out, arms up, a panicked expression. No matter what kind of help the reader provides by pulling tabs to make the frog smaller, nothing works, and the center spread of the frog desperate to leap out of her confines, unable to stand it, is a highlight of comic pathos and 3-D design."

Both of our Knuffle Bunnies, with embroidered eyes and velvet noses, have luxurious soft velour, bean-filled bodies, ears lined with shiny velvet and chenille tails. These Knuffle Bunnies are so soft and huggable, we are sure they will never be lost or left behind!
