New Releases by Christopher Wormell

With every page of Teeth, Tails, & Tentacles, readers young and old will delight in counting their way through the animal kingdom. Vivid linoleum-block prints from award-winning artist Christopher Wormell highlight the numbers from one to twenty using everything from a colorful chameleon to a giant humpback whale.

So ugly is the monster that he can turn a blue sky to snow and evaporate a pond just by dipping his toe in it. No living thing can stand to be in his presence. But the monster is not ugly on the inside; he''s just lonely. So he decides to build some friends out of stone, but even stones can''t stand the full force of the monster''s smile, and they all shatter - except one. Suggested level: primary.

With his trademark colorful and compelling images of animals both familiar and exotic, acclaimed British illustrator Christopher Wormell brings a uniquely artful point of view to the traditional counting book. Wormell''s inventive approach to illustrating the numbers from 1 to 20 highlights intriguing parts, behaviors, or features of specific animals, rather than simply increasing the numbers of the animals themselves. This new perspective presents an opportunity for further parent-child exploration of the animal—How many legs does the camel have? What color is the ladybug?—in keeping with the current trend toward interdisciplinary education for the very young.

Two frogs are sitting on a lily pad in the middle of a large pond. One of them is clutching a stick to beat off a dog. But there is no dog ... yet.

One day, three teddy bears called Bubba, Rollo and Pog set off into the woods for a picnic. But before too long they are utterly lost and Rollo has eaten all their food. At least there are no wolves to attack them in these woods... or are there?

Mrs Elephant, Mrs Walrus and Mr Bear are off to town again; this time to go to the fair. But they keep seeing other attractions that take their fancy - shops, a caf-, the park, the cinema. When they finally arrive the fair is closed for the night and everyone has gone home. Bitterly disappointed (especially Mr Bear) the animals decide to sleep outside the fair, until they are let in by the man who unlocks the gates in the morning.

Il était une fois deux grenouilles qui devisaient au milieu étang. L''une tenait un bâton. "Par sécurité, explique-t-elle. Pour faire fuir les chiens." "Mais ce n''est pas le chien que nous craignons, dit l''autre grenouille, c''est le brochet ou le héron." Mais si elles avaient toutes deux raison ?

Christopher Wormell''s magnificent, color-drenched linoleum-block illustrations grace this alphabet book, so handsomely designed it''s sure to appeal to discriminating adults as well as to children. The award-winning British artist, whose previous work An Alphabet of Animals took the top graphics prize at the 1990 Bologna Children''s Book Fair, has created all new artwork for his latest interpretation of the alphabet, featuring glorious images of animals from armadillo to zorilla (a skunklike creature).

When the little wooden train picks up, first, Mrs Elephant, then Mr Bear and finally Mrs Walms, the driver is full of foreboding. His train cannot possibly carry such weighty passengers up to town. But it does. He warns them not to overdo the shopping or they will never complete the return journey but they take no notice and as the little train chugs homewards it has a preposterous load. When Mrs Elephant sneezes, disaster of the worst kind happens; the train falls apart. But the ingenious animals are able to turn calamity into an unexpected surprise picnic for everyone. The day ends on a happy note.

The conductor is worried that his three rather large passengers won''t fit, but they do.
