The Herdmans plus Halloween have always spelled disaster. Every year these six kids -- the worst in the history of Woodrow Wilson School, and possibly even the world -- wreak havoc on the whole town. They steal candy, spray-paint kids, and take anything that's not nailed down.

Now the mayor has had it. He's decided to cancel Halloween. There won't be any Herdmans to contend with this year, but there won't be any candy, either. And what's Halloween without candy? And without trick-or-treating? The Herdmans manage to turn the worst Halloween ever into the best Halloween ever in this uproarious sequel to The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

"The Herdmans are the most famous kids at Woodrow Wilson School. In fact, they are the most famous kids in the whole town -- and they are the worst kids in the history of the world. They are dirty, rotten, lazy, and ornery. They tell lies and smoke cigars and set fire to things. They stay away from school whenever they want to and won't learn anything when they are there. Every September the students and teachers gear up for another year of dealing with the Herdmans. But no matter what precautions are taken, these modern-day outlaws still manage to cause hilarious mayhem year round. Their wild behavior always leads to disaster for someone, but how all continually escape blame. Could there something about this horrible clan state? Barbara Robinson first introduced the unforgettable Herdmans in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. Fans if this perennial favorite will not be disappointed by its equally hilarious, brilliant sequel.

Joan Brock

Derek D. Gill

"This powerfully moving and inspiring book describes the experiences of a remarkable young woman who has faced an ordeal of personal tragedy that would be the despair of most, but that she managed to overcome." "Joan Brock was born and raised in what she describes as a "serpentless, California Eden." Lithe and blithe-spirited, she had considered a career as a professional dancer. Instead she was drawn to a more challenging vocation - teaching sightless children in an Iowa school for the blind how to cope in the visible world most of us take for granted." "There she fell in love with and married a colleague, and, following the birth of a daughter, life seemed "barely short of perfect." But one winter day when Joan was in her early thirties, fate began to turn against her - not once but twice - delivering blows that might have given most of us ample excuse to live out our years in cringing self-pity, wondering, Why me? Yet such a response would have been totally out of character for this young woman. "Why not me?" has been her reply, both then and now." "Armed with a combination of faith, courage, and determination, Joan confronted her lot and carried on. The story of how she did so is a marvelously inspiring journey that will touch every reader. Yet More That Meets the Eye goes far beyond being just another account of triumph over tragedy. It is also a love story - one that proclaims love of life, compassion for those most in need of care, and, in a joyous ending, romantic love as tender as its telling."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

This beloved, world-famous allegorical classic about a young prince on a quest for knowledge is an essential read for every home library.



Few stories are as widely read and as universally cherished by children and adults alike as The Little Prince. When a pilot crashes in the Sahara Desert, he meets a little boy who asks him to draw a sheep. Gradually the Little Prince reveals more about himself: he comes from a small asteroid, where he lived alone until a rose grew there. But the rose grew demanding, and he was confused by his feelings about her. The story unfolds further from one planet to the next in a thoughtful philosophical exploration of love and the ephemeral. Combining Richard Howard's translation with restored original full-color art, this definitive English-language edition of The Little Prince will capture the hearts of readers of all ages.

Enchanting, brimming with the wonder and magic of once upon a time, the fairly tales of the Brothers Grimm are the special stories of childhood that stay with us throughout our lives. But most Americans know them only secondhand, in adaptations that greatly reduce the tales' power to touch our emotions and intrigue our imaginations. Now, in the most comprehensive translation to date, here are the classic fairy tales as the Brothers Grimm intended them to be-rich, stark, spiced with humor and violence, resonant with the rhythms of folklore and song. Volume I contains 100 unabridged tales, including those best-known around the world:Cinderella, Snow White, Rapunzel, Hansel And Gretel, and Little Red Cap [also known as Little Red Riding Hood ]. These wonderful tales of life, passion, and make-believe appeal not only to children-who unabashedly love them-but to readers of any age.

Lewis Carroll

When Alice tumbles down, down, down a rabbit-hole one hot summer's afternoon in pursuit of a White Rabbit she finds herself in Wonderland. And there begin the fantastical adventures that will see her experiencing extraordinary changes in size, swimming in a pool of her own tears and attending the very maddest of tea parties. For Wonderland is no ordinary place and the characters that populate it are quite unlike anybody young Alice has ever met before. In this imaginary land she encounters the savagely violent Queen, the Lachrymose Mock Turtle, the laconic Cheshire Cat and the hookah-smoking Caterpillar, each as surprising and outlandish as the next. Alice's adventures have made her the stuff of legend, the child heroine "par excellence," and ensured that Carroll's book is the best loved and most widely read in children's literature.
