Cute Cute book

My toddler loves this book. It is a cute sing song story that shows generations.

Fabulous artwork, adorable story!

Chris Conover has done it again and continues to give us outstanding children's books! This book will make a wonderful gift for the children on your list who love to see all the little critters in Conover's artwork...the story is enjoyable and an easy read for the adult too! In this day of the cardboard book, I appreciate this fine work of art and enjoy sharing Conover's work with all of my grandchildren.

Tom, an otter pop, learns how to pipe a single song

Tom, an otter pop, learns how to pipe a single song and enchants everyone he meets in Over The Hills And Far Away. Nobody can resist dancing to his cheery bagpipe tunes, and nobody will resist Chris Conover's lovely drawings in this remake of a traditional nursery story, brought vividly and entertainingly to life in rollicking rhyme and total fun.
