Los cachorritos del perro pertenecen a una camada, pero ¿cómo se les dice a los bebés de los zorrillos y cuál es el nombre de su grupo? Esta brillante, y rítmica historia nos cuenta justamente ésto. Contando del uno al diez, la historia nos presenta a los animales de nuestro jardín trasero que nos son familiares por sus bebés y sus nombres de grupo.
Baby dogs are puppies and they belong to a litter, but what is a baby skunk called and what is the name of its family group? This clever, rhythmic story tells us just that! Counting from one to 10, familiar backyard animals are introduced by baby and family group name. Each stanza also tells a bit more about each animal by providing clues as to what they eat, how they sound or where they live. The "For Creative Minds" section includes more animal fun facts, information on keeping a nature journal and how to watch for wildlife in your own backyard.

This is the critically acclaimed first book from author and illustrator David Ezra Stein, whose work has appeared in the New Yorker and the New York Times. Cowboy Ned's birthday is tomorrow, and he's sad because nobody is around to celebrate. To cheer him up, his good friend Andy the horse journeys into the desert to find some birthday cake. But when Andy finds a banjo-playing cowboy who is as old as the hills, he learns something very important about birthdays.
Alexander's two brothers have money in their pockets. All he has are bus tokens. It isn't fair. He had money last Sunday when his grandparents gave them each a dollar. Now it's all gone. At first he was saving the money for a walkie-talkie. But saving money is hard. He bought gum with some of the money, but when it stopped tasting good, he had to buy more. Good-bye 15 cents.
Then Eddie offered to rent him his snake for an hour, and he couldn't pass up a chance like that. Betting his brother that he could hold his breath while he counted to 300 wasn't a good idea, either. He'll never own that walkie-talkie! Judith Viorst has a gift for getting inside a little boy's head and making sense of what goes on there. Paired with Johnny Heller's acting talent, the result is a good chuckle, laced with real compassion, for the child in everyone.
