(For ages 3-6)

 

(Clear Fork, 2019)

When Max suggests putting on a circus, Francine immediately appoints herself the star of the show and designates Max as the assistant. Francine juggles balls, tames tigers and rides a wild stallion. Max begs to participate, but Francine refuses to give up center stage. When Max gets fed up and jumps into the ring, they try to one-up each other with disastrous results. Through argument, compromise and imaginative play, they eventually come together to put on the best circus ever! 

 

Illustrated by the talented Tony Weinstock, this is a humorous look at sibling rivalry for ages 4-8! Unfortunately this book is out of print and only available directly from the author.

STAR OF THE SHOW was named A Bank Street CBC Best Children's Book of the Year for 2010 for ages 5-8.

It's time to make that move to a big kid bed, but one little boy feels a teensy bit intimidated. The bed is so big and empty. Who better to fill the space than his endearing and cuddly stuffed animal friends. But when his bed is full, will there be enough room for him?

 

Illustrated by the talented Capucine Mazille, this is a fun book about adjusting to a new bed for ages 2-5!

Unfortunately this book is out of print.
