Just between us, this is an extra great batch of books. We have an adorably mopey hedgehog, a brave girl with a big heart, a charming boy with a wild imagination, and a bird so lonely and confused that he befriends a lemon. Enjoy! What picture books are you currently enjoying at bedtime?

"Sure to enchant any child." (The Washington Post Book World)
"Monstrous Shrek spits flame, spews stench and is 'tickled' to be so repulsive. Making his way in the world, he finds a princess even uglier than he is . . . The merriment emerge[s] in each drawing, and the snappy text keeps the pace jolly as well." (Chicago Tribune)
"It's all here for Steig fans: magic, animism, chaos, self-reliance, hope, and fulfillment . . . The fast-forward movement of the story and the inventive challenging language, full of surprises, make this especially fun to read aloud." (Starred, School Library Journal)
"An original and comical reexamination of the reverse world of monsterdom." (Starred, Kirkus Reviews)
