New Title Hilarious!
A charming twist on a classic tale
The Tumbleweed Came Back By Carmela LaVigna Coyle Illustrated by Kevin Rechin
The Sunhat By Jennifer Ward Illustrated by Stephanie Roth Sisson
When a pesky tumbleweed drops in for lunch one day, hilarity ensues as one tumbleweed turns into ten, then twenty, then thousands! The harder Granny and her two grandchildren try to rid their farm of the pesky menaces, the more the tumbleweeds take over. Based on the popular folk tune, “The Cat Came Back,” the text’s infectious rhythm is brought to life by knee-slappingly funny illustrations. The combination makes for a rollicking read that will have children and parents rolling around with laughter.
On a hot summer day, Rosa’s red sunhat blows off her head, out of sight. One by one, the creatures of the desert stumble upon it, seeking shelter from a monsoon storm. Magically, the sunhat stretches and stretches to accommodate all who climb under it. Adapted from the well-loved classic tale, “The Mitten,” this enchanting book is bound to be a timeless favorite. jennifer ward is the author of numerous acclaimed books for children, including the popular There Was a Coyote Who Swallowed a Flea. When not traveling and speaking in schools and libraries, she writes full-time from her home in Illinois. stephanie roth sisson spent many hours as a kid creating her own entertainment by drawing. Now she has illustrated over 50 books for children. Stephanie lives in California with her husband and son.
