Mr. Nogginbody and the Childish Child
by David ShannonBest-selling creator David Shannon walks the line between childish and grownupish in his playful and brilliantly accomplished new picture book. When Mr. Nogginbody has to babysit, he thinks it should be straightforward: give the child a chocolate soda so he’ll do his homework. Unfortunately for Mr. N, he follows those steps in that order, and the child refuses to study, teasing his sitter and jumping on the couch just out of reach. Determined to put a stop to the childish shenanigans, Mr. Nogginbody jumps up after him. But he quickly discovers just how much fun being a kid can be. The ovoid hero of Mr. Nogginbody Gets a Hammer, which “has the timeless exuberance and psychological profundity of a great comedy” (Publishers Weekly, starred review), returns in another humorous tour de force from beloved picture book creator David Shannon. Grownupish grownup . . . What in the world does that mean?!”

Mr. Pack Rat Really Wants That
by Marcus EwertMr. Pack Rat is a particularly acquisitive small mammal with a hoarding problem (sound like someone you know?). Through trial and error, he begins to question whether having more things is really the secret to happiness.Although real life pack rats (genus Neotoma) build large piles of debris to nest in, Mr. Pack Rat isn't satisfied with plain old sticks and leaves. He wants novelty and variety, and--unfortunately for him!--he owns a magical magnet that can summon anything he desires. Mr. Pack Rat is always on to the next thing. Lovely flowers will brighten up his sticks and leaves... until they wilt. Colorful seashells won't wilt, but they aren't much fun.
