Join a brave family as they head off in search of bears in this classic depiction of the beloved children's rhyme.

Of course, when the bear returns, they run back, exactly the way they came, as fast as they can.

The traditional text has been infused with delightful wordplay and plenty of humor, and the pictures by Helen Oxenbury, one of the most widely loved children's book artists, are full of delightful comedy and high drama, set in lovely sweeping landscapes. This is a book not to be missed, one to be chanted aloud and acted out, to be enjoyed over and over again.(Credits to Scholastic)

Her teacher smiled. "Just make a mark and see where it takes you." Art class is over, but Vashti is sitting glued to her chair in front of a blank piece of paper. The words of her teacher are a gentle invitation to express herself. But Vashti can't draw; she's no artist. To prove her point, Vashti jabs at a blank sheet of paper to make an unremarkable and angry mark. "There!" she says. That one little dot marks the beginning of Vashti's journey of surprise and self-discovery. That special moment is the core of Peter H. Reynolds's delicate fable about the creative spirit in all of us. (Credits to Scholastic)
