CALDECOTT HONOR BOOK The Amazing Bone tells the story of Pearl, a pig, who forms a friendship with a talking bone in this timeless picture book by William Steig, the Caldecott and Newbery Medal-winning creator of Shrek! . It's a bright and beautiful spring day, and Pearl, a pig, is dawdling on her way home from school. Most unexpectedly, she strikes up an acquaintance with a small bone. Pearl and the bone immediately take a liking to each other, and before you know it she is on her way home with the bone in her purse, left open so they can continue their conversation. But the trip home turns out to be surprisingly treacherous. Can a pig and a talking bone outwit a band of robbers and a hungry fox? In the world of William Steig, anything is possible.

A splendid gift package from Maurice Sendak with a poster that includes all the favorites from his bestselling titles--Max and the Wild Things, Mickey from In the Night Kitchen, Ida from Outside Over There, and characters from the Nutshell Library. A hardcover copy of the Caldecott-winning Where the Wild Things Are and an elegant box will make this an ideal gift for any occasion. Full color.

In this picture book classic, travel with young Walter on a fantastical adventure as he journeys--by way of his bed--into a polluted dreamscape world that wakes him up to our collective and individual environmental responsibility. Walter does not appreciate the beauty of nature, or understand his role in keeping the planet healthy . . . until a fantastic journey shows him the tragic fate that could befall Earth if humans like him are not more careful. Chris Van Allsburg (The Polar Express) pairs pitch-perfect narrative with his full-color pastel illustrations, rendering this picture book a story that has stood the test of time. "Two-time Caldecott Medalist Van Allsburg reaches a new pinnacle of excellence in both illustration and storytelling in his latest work." --Publishers Weekly This anniversary edition includes a stunning new jacket!
