The Giant Surprise: A Narnia Story (Chronicles of Narnia)
by Hiawyn Oram
Narnia:
a world made by magic from the start of time,
full of marvelous creatures, talking beasts,
and trees that sometimes get up and dance.
And now the door to this magical world is opened again with a brand-new story. Based on beloved characters introduced by C. S. Lewis in The Chronicles of Narnia, The Giant Surprise presents a new adventure specially created for much younger children.
Now pull on your boots . . . and splash through the muddy marshlands, home to the web-footed, web-fingered Marsh-wiggles. Meet Puddleglum, the most famous of them all. Get to know his niece, Lally, the brave little Wigglet, as together they help the marsh mice challenge the roaring, rock-throwing, not-so-clever giants of Shribble Gorge!

A Boy Wants a Dinosaur
by Hiawyn Oram
Alex is set on a dinosaur for a pet. So his grandfather took him to the Dino-Store to buy one, a Massospondylus. He called her Fred. But Fred ate far too much; her special hot steaming marsh in the bathroom was unhealthy; and when she goes to school the classroom makes her feel very sick. When they have to go on a walk in the country even Alex says, "This is going too far!" In the end, Alex is the first to agree when his grandfather suggests that his pet should actually be . . . a rabbit! The antidote to dog stories—a perfect explanation for why one pet is chosen rather than another.

Mine!
by Hiawyn Oram, Candace Fleming, Shutta Crum
Poor Isabel! It’s hard to play with Claudia because Claudia simply will not share any of her toys: not the rocking horse, not the carrot-topped doll, not the shiny new tricycle. All Claudia can do is shriek Mine!” Even a trip to the park, meant to soothe tempers, backfires, but in the end, it's Isabel who has the last laugh.
This witty, droll tale provides the perfect opportunity for parents and young children to discuss friendship and sharing. Charming illustrations by the acclaimed Mary Rees add to the fun.

Mine!
by Hiawyn Oram, Candace Fleming, Shutta Crum
This rhythmic read-aloud about sharingby an award-winning author and a Caldecott medalist features a series of hilariously selfish forest animals.
In a tall, tall tree, at the tip-tippy top, hangs a single red apple...
Along skirts Mouse. “An apple!” she squeaks, "How divine! When it tumbles to the ground, it’ll all be mine!”
And so it goes, for Hare, Fox, Deer, and Bear, who each can't wait to get their hands on the apple.
Soon the wind huffs and puffs, the branch snips and snaps, and down the apple falls. Only one shiny red apple for five furry creatures? What are they to do?!
Here is a read-aloud picture book, perfect for storytime, that will have kids repeating the refrain “Mine!”... complete with an ending that celebrates sharing and is sure to surprise!
