This is a true story about a Vermont farm boy named Wilson Bentley. Wilson loved snowflakes. His dream was to take pictures of snowflakes but they always melted.
As he grew older, he acquired a microscope with a camera. He spent his life taking beautiful snowflake pictures and learning more about them. Wilson was a self-taught scientist. We learn about his life and snowflake science. Although many thought Wilson was a little odd, we realize that just like snowflakes, no two people are alike.

Al, a janitor who lives in a dingy apartment on Manhattan's West Side with his dog Eddie. One day, a funny-looking bird sticks its huge head through Al's bathroom window and proposes a journey to a terrific place where there are "no worries" and "no cares." Al agrees and takes Eddie with him. What the two experience is paradise--butterflies, wildflowers, chirping birds and cool streams--but it soon gives way to the uncertainties of being away from home, and a moral: that home is where the heart is.
This book retells the segment from Spenser's "The Faerie Queene" in which George, the Red Cross Knight, slays the dreadful dragon that has been terrorizing the countryside for years and brings peace and joy to the land.

A bright, science-minded boy goes to the beach equipped to collect
and examine flotsam--anything floating that has been washed
ashore. Bottles, lost toys, small objects of every description are
among his usual finds. But there's no way he could have prepared
for one particular discovery: a barnacle-encrusted underwater
camera, with its own secrets to share . . . and to keep.

When a bus driver takes a break from his route, a very unlikely volunteer springs up to take his place — a pigeon! But you’ve never met one like this before. As he pleads, wheedles, and begs his way through the book, children will love being able to answer back and decide his fate. In his hilarious picture book debut, popular cartoonist Mo Willems perfectly captures a preschooler’s temper tantrum.

A monochrome town gets a change of color and attitude with the help of a box of yarn and a girl named Annabelle. From the seemingly endless box of Extra Yarn Annabelle knits clothing for everyone around her, tempering the ill-tempered, and creating beautifully patterned warmth for people, animals, and objects, alike. When a greedy clothes-loving archduke tries to buy--then steal--the box for himself, he discovers that ill-gotten gains bear no fruit--or in this case, yarn.

and poet, whose endless store of supplies warms the hearts of his fellow
mice, and feeds their spirits during the darkest winter days.

Vasya Kandinsky was a proper little boy: he studied math and history, he practiced the piano, he sat up straight and was perfectly polite. And when his family sent him to art classes, they expected him to paint pretty houses and flowers —like a proper artist.
But as Vasya opened his paint box and began mixing the reds, the yellows, the blues, he heard a strange sound — the swirling colors trilled like an orchestra tuning up for a symphony! And as he grew older, he continued to hear brilliant colors singing and see vibrant sounds dancing. But was Vasya brave enough to put aside his proper still lifesand portraits and paint . . . music?
The Caldecott award-winning book that speaks simply and elegantly of the many pleasures a tree provides.
Trees are beautiful. They fill up the sky. If
you have a tree, you can climb up its trunk,
roll in its leaves, or hang a swing from one of
its limbs. Cows and babies can nap in the
shade of a tree. Birds can make nests in the
branches. A tree is good to have around. A
tree is nice.

A poignant story of a cute country cottage
that becomes engulfed by the city that
grows up around it. The house has an
expressive face of windows and doors, and
even the feelings of a person, so she’s sad
when she’s surrounded by the dirty, noisy
city’s hustle and bustle: “She missed the
field of daisies / and the apple trees dancing
in the moonlight.” Fortunately, there’s a
happy ending, as the house is taken back to
the country where she belongs.
