Cozy


Book Description

A New York Times Bestseller! A group of clever animals find an unusual but warm and furry home during Alaska's long winter in Jan Brett's newest snowy adventure. Cozy is the softest musk ox in Alaska, with the warmest fur you ever did feel. When a storm hits while he's separated from his family, he starts to feel lonely—but not for long. As the snow piles up, animals start to notice just how warm and cozy Cozy really is! One mama lemming has a bright idea . . . maybe the best place to spend the winter is under Cozy's fur! As more and more animals burrow in, Cozy adds to the house rules: quiet voices, gentle thumping, claws to yourself, no biting, and no pouncing. That seems easy enough . . . until the lemmings, snowshoe hare, snowy owl, arctic fox, and wolverine begin to bicker. Luckily, signs of spring soon appear, and that means Cozy can find his herd and his new friends can head to their summer homes. But not before promising to get cozy with Cozy next year! Jan Brett brings a new lovable character to life through this gorgeous tale of sharing, friendship, and living in harmony. Snuggle up with all of Jan Brett's snowy treasures: The Mitten, The Hat, The Snowy Nap, The Three Snow Bears , and The Trouble With Trolls.




Woodland Folk Tales of Britain and Ireland


Book Description

Once upon a time, most of Britain and Ireland was covered in woodland. Many of the trees have been cleared, but our connection with the wildwood remains. It is a place of danger, adventure and transformation, where anything could happen. Here is a collection of traditional folk tales of oak, ash and thorn; of hunting forests and rebellion, timber and triumph in battle, wild ghosts and woodwoses. Lisa Schneidau retells some of the old stories and relates them to the trees and forests in the landscape of our islands today.

Woodland Stories for Our Grandchildren


Book Description

This children's book is a compilation of seven stories. The central characters in my book are just some of the adorable and unusual animals and birds seen during my childhood. Not far from our home, on the crest of the riverbank rose a huge leafless gum tree, long since dead. It was home to much birdlife and especially the very noisy cockatoos and galahs. As children we roamed all over our property with complete safety where we discovered an abundance of wildlife in their natural habitat. I started writing about Pete the Pesky Possum only a few years ago after experiencing a deep and personal loss, and from then on it just mushroomed. When I wrote about one character, another popped up, and I have many more just waiting for me to bring them to life. The only problems I encountered were to know when to stop.
