Best Selling Books by Steven Kellogg

There''s a tidal wave of laughs ahead when Jimmy''s mother thinks a goldfish would be a nice, sensible pet and surely wouldn''t be a source of constant chaos like her son''s pet boa constrictor.

For more than thirty years, Steven Kellogg has been delighting young readers with his bright, lively books full of feisty imagination and silliness --and always perfectly expressing children''s thoughts and dreams. As his friend Helen Hunt says in her introduction to this treasury, Steven''s books "give voice and bring humor to the mischievous in all of us." Because of that, Steven Kellogg has become one of our most loved picture book creators. For the first time, here is a treasury of Steven''s books, including many of his bestsellers (The Mysterious Tadpole, The Island of the Skog, Jimmy''s Boa, Best Friends and others) and several little-known books that have been unavailable for many years. In all, eleven books are included--eleven gems to pore over again and again. And as an added bonus, there is also a biographical profile of Steven, complete with many photos and even some never-before-seen sketches. This is a compendium for every child--those who already love Steven Kellogg''s books, and those who are soon to love them.
