Haughton, Chris

George tries very hard to be a good dog, but he is tempted to eat the delicious cake on the kitchen table, chase the cats, and dig up the flowers.

"The sky may be dark over icy waters, but Mommy Penguin is off to catch some fish for dinner. As Daddy and Little Penguin watch in suspense, Mommy swims, jumps, and climbs up a slippery slope, barely avoiding a plunge back into the sea. Well done! There's just one more hurdle to overcome, past some grumpy, just-awakened seals, before she returns to her anxiously waiting family"--Provided by publisher.

"Three little monkeys and their big monkey are sitting high on a branch in the forest canopy. 'OK, monkeys! I'm off,' says the big monkey. 'Remember... Whatever you do, do NOT go down to the mango tree. There are tigers down there.' Mmm...mangoes! think the little monkeys. They LOVE mangoes. Hmm... Maybe...maybe they could just look at the mangoes. That would be OK, right? With vivid colors, bold shapes, and his trademark visual humor, Chris Haughton is back with a deliciously suspenseful cautionary tale about pushing boundaries--and indulging your more impish side (when nobody is looking)"--Provided by the publisher.

"In the rockpool above the sea, live two crabs: Big Crab and Little Crab. Today, they're going for a dip in the sea. 'This is going to be so great!' says Little Crab. But then Little Crab catches a first glimpse of the water... Oh. The waves! They're ENORMOUS. 'JEEPERS!' Will Little Crab be brave enough to go in?"--Provided by the publisher.

But then Little Crab catches a first glimpse of the water. Oh. The waves! They're enormous. 'Jeepers!' Will Little Crab be brave enough to go in?"--OCLC.

"Four friends creep through the woods, and what do they spot? An exquisite bird high in a tree! 'Hello birdie,' waves one. 'Shh! We have a plan,' hush the others. They stealthily make their advance, nets in the air. Ready one, ready two, ready three, and go! But as one comically foiled plan follows another, it soon becomes clear that their quiet, observant companion, hand outstretched, has a far better idea"--Provided by publisher.

George finds it hard to be a good dog when there are cats to chase, flowers to dig up, and a delicious cake sitting on the kitchen table.

Spotting an exquisite bird in a tree, three friends execute a series of stealthy plans to capture the bird only to have their efforts foiled, while their quiet, observant companion stretches out his hand to execute a plan of his own.

"The animals in the forest are ready to snuggle up with their families for the night, but Little Bear thinks he can stay awake a while longer"--OCLC.
