"Murray worries...about lots of things. He doesn't want to go out in the rain. He's scared of the barking dogs at the park. Fireworks make him jump. But gradually he learns that he can put on a raincoat. He can make new friends. He can be brave"--

David Ezra Stein pens irresistible tales that win over young readers while earning such distinctions as the Caldecott Honor and the Ezra Jack Keats New Writer Award. In this engaging book, a young mouse sits down to write her grandmother a letter, but she can't think of anything to say. All of a sudden, though, she is flooded with ideas and starts scribbling down all the wonders of her life. A warmhearted story, Love, Mouserella may even inspire young...

It's bright and early on a Saturday morning, and the little red chicken wants cookies for breakfast. What better way to persuade Papa than by jarring him awake and gleefully interjecting cookies-and herself!-into every nursery rhyme they read together? Though the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe heartily endorses the little red chicken's plan, Papa has his own idea for a sweet breakfast for his determined daughter.

Little Red Chicken wants Papa to read her a bedtime story, but interrupts him almost as soon as he begins each tale.
