Frog Is a Hero

When the rains come and the river bursts its banks, Frog, Duck, Pig, and Hare are stranded. But Frog risks his life to save his friends, bringing a happy ending to the tale.

Only a Cat

Kitten-Cat is upset because he can't fly like the birds or hop like the frogs, crack nuts like the squirrels or crow like the cockerel. "I'm only a cat..." he cries in distress to his mother. "Only a cat, indeed!" she says, and shows him just how many things only a cat can do.

Teddybears and the Cold Cure

William is feeling ill, he has a sore throat and his head hurts. At first the other bears think he wants breakfast in bed, but when William says he's not hungry, they realize that he must be ill. The other bears try to make him feel better and cheer him up.

Bear Noel

As Christmas approaches, the animals of the north woods tremble with excitement. Bear Noel is coming! He strides toward them with his gift-laden sack, while they roll and romp in the snow, waiting. It is Christmas Eve, the one night of the year when a hare and a wolf, a fox and a boar, a hedgehog and a possum, an owl and a mole can gather peacefully, in the spirit of the happy holiday. Olivier Dunrea's gentle story about the advent of Christmas and his exquisite, snow-filled pictures evoke all the warmth and wonder of a magical time.

Tangle Town

On another day of "blisters and blasters and pretzel disasters" it seems that no one can bring order to the streets of Tangle Town, until a no-nonsense farm girl with the proper barnyard experience makes the topsy-turvy town a little less confusing.
