From the author of the

best-selling Library Lion
comes a funny, heartfelt
new picture book about
embracing the unusual,
green scales and all.
Also by Michelle Knudsen:
Library Lion Sally’s class is doing a science project, and Mrs. Henshaw is handing
HC: 978-0-7636-2262-6 out eggs for hatching. “Mine looks different,” says Sally. When Sally’s
PB: 978-0-7636-3784-2
egg cracks, what emerges is something green and scaly with big yellow
eyes. Argus isn’t like the other chicks: he isn’t small and fuzzy, and he
doesn’t like seeds and bugs. He’d rather eat other chicks (or children,
as he grows even bigger). Watching the other kids playing with their
identical chicks, Sally wonders, would she be better off without Argus?
With sly humor and a subtle tug at the heartstrings, Michelle Knudsen
Argus hatches a story about learning not just to tolerate, but to love what is
by Michelle Knudsen different, while Andréa Wesson’s endearing illustrations bring the tale to

life with quirky details and offbeat charm.

—The Guardian (U.K.)
Winner of the Mother Goose Award
When you go off to school, you think I just sleep all day.
WELL, BOY, HAVE I GOT NEWS FOR YOU!
Martha may think her cat, Lionel, merely naps while she is at
school, but she is quite mistaken. Lionel has a jam-packed schedule.
He busies himself during the day by catching up on current affairs,
weightlifting, cooking, painting, and — most important — socializing.
This award-winning tale of a cat’s private life is presented with humor
and panache by the talented Bruce Ingman.

The ineffable nature of grieving

of graphic storytelling from the
creators of The Savage.
Author Acclaim
David Almond is the winner of the 2010
Hans Christian Andersen Author Award,
the most prestigious award in international
children’s literature. The jury praised him
as “the unique voice of a creator of magical
realism for children . . . [who] captures his
young readers’ imagination and motivates
them to read, think, and be critical.”
Also by David Almond

and Dave McKean:
“Slogger, man,” I said. “Your dad’s dead.”

“I know that, Davie. But it’s him. He’s come back again, like he said he would.”
The Savage
HC: 978-0-7636-3932-7
Do you believe in life after death? Slog does. He believes that the scruffy
man on a bench outside the butcher shop is his dad, returned to visit
him one last time. Slog’s friend Davie isn’t so sure. Can it be that some
Slog’s Dad mysteries are never meant to be solved? And that belief, at times, is its
by David Almond own reward? The acclaimed creators of The Savage reunite for a feat
illustrated by Dave McKean
of graphic storytelling that defies categorization. Eerie, poignant, and
masterful, Slog’s Dad is a tale of astonishing power and complexity.

She’s back. Jude’s childhood friend —

sexy, daring Stella — returns to their
stifling hometown, and life will never
be the same again.

“Dark and brooding, with brilliantly drawn characters
and a truly unexpected twist at the end. . . . This is one
you’ll want to read again as soon as you’ve finished.”
— Chicklish
Sixteen-year-old Jude has to get out of tiny Churchtown. She has to

escape her outcast status and her pathetic dad, who hasn’t gotten past
her mother’s death. The one bright light is drama, her way out, if only
she can get into the Lab, a prestigious program in London. Then Stella,
Jude’s childhood best friend, swaggers in after years away. With bold
and magnetic Stella by her side, Jude knows she’s capable of anything.
But Stella’s influence extends well beyond the theater. Soon Stella’s
wild and dangerous streak begins to cause trouble for Jude — yet Jude Wonderland

A favorite back in print! A child
discovers, in the old house and
overgrown garden she passes every
day, that wonders wait in secret.
One day, on the way to the park, a little girl climbs the gate of an old
yellow house. Although no one has lived there for a very long time,
a little boy suddenly appears before her. “Come and play with me,”
he beckons. He leads her through an enchanted garden, showing her
all its marvelous inhabitants: a tiger playing with its cubs in the long
grass, a dolphin leaping in the goldfish pond, a pelican roosting high
in the apple tree. Then the mysterious boy is gone, the girl’s mother is
calling, and all is as it was before. In this well-loved picture book, Blake
Morrison and Helen Craig bring us to a place where, for a moment,
magic is real.

When a band of brothers outgrows the dim confines of their birthplace,

“This book owes its extraordinary power

— Bologna judges’ report
Once there was a dancing circus bear who spent her days in a cold,
hard cage. Each night she was led to the town square, where acrobats,
trapeze artists, and clowns performed for a boisterous crowd. The
bear performed, too, year in and year out, lifting her feet and swaying
to the music of trumpets, drums, and cymbals. As she danced, some
people clapped, and many poked her with sticks or threw stones. One
night, however, the bear did not dance. She stood very still. And then The Great Bear
