This Little Farmer Went to Market follows the journey our food makes from farm to market. Engaging young readers through the use of bright colors, recognizable foods from mealtimes at home, and characters representing diverse backgrounds and communities, This Little Farmer Went to Market provides children and their parents with the opportunity to learn, discuss and explore together where food comes from and how it gets to families—in this case, a local farmers’ market. Written by B. G. Hennessy, known for her work on the award-winning Corduroy children’s book series, and illustrated by Mary Ann Fraser, This Little Farmer Went to Market is a must-have for every child’s home library.

Up Up Up is a humorous story told mostly in pictures will delight the youngest of readers and adults alike. When Mouse, Frog, Duck, Snake, Dog, Chimp, Seal, Sheep and Bear are invited to a birthday party on the 10th floor, the elevator seems to be the best way up, up, up. Written by Phoebe Fox and illustrated by Michael Hale, you'll love reading Up Up Up together as a family!
