Good Families Don't


Book Description

Good Families Don't is Munsch's funniest book yet, about a risqué subject that is guaranteed to have children--and adults--rolling in the aisles. When Carmen tries to tell her parents that there is a big fart lying on her bed, they don't believe her. "Good families like ours," they tell her, "do not have farts." But when they go upstairs to see, the fart attacks them--as it does the similarly disbelieving police when they arrive. Carmen is left to deal with the situation on her own, which she does with the help of a rose.

A gypsy girl who gets the opportunity to live in a palace as a princess finds she prefers her gypsy life after all.




Jillian Jiggs and the Great Big Snow


Book Description

Rediscover the magic of a snowy day on the 10th anniversary of this delightful Jillian Jiggs story! "Jillian, Jillian, say it's not true. How do you lose all the things that you do?" Jillian wants to go play in the snow with her sister and her friends, but her mom says no - not until she finds her hat! So instead, Jillian wears a Martian hat from the costume box. Of course, that means the snowscape needs to be turned into Mars, with cosmic landscapes, aliens, and flying space sleds. As the creativity flows, though, Jillian loses not only her hat (again), but her scarf and mitts too! What is Mom going to say? Sledding, snowmen, and wild flights of imagination abound in Phoebe Gilman's first-ever wintertime Jillian Jiggs story. Celebrate a wonderful, snowy decade of Jillian Jiggs and the Great Big Snow with this sparkly 10th anniversary edition of the much-loved story. Have fun, and try not to lose your mittens!
