Fox the Tiger

Tigers are the best, or so thinks Fox. With a big imagination (and a little bit of paint), he transforms into a growling, prowling tiger. Soon, his friends Turtle and Rabbit are likewise inspired to embody their dreams as a zipping, zooming race car and a beeping, booping robot. Despite their rained-out celebration, Fox learns to appreciate that he, in his own special way, is also the best. 2019 winner.

Best-selling picture book creator Mo Willems continues his charming Elephant and Piggie first reader series.

Children who sat on their parents' laps to have Pigeon read to them will eagerly take the plunge with these books to start reading on their own. Each book has been vetted by an early learning specialist. In There Is a Bird On Your Head!, Gerald discovers that there's something worse than a bird on your head—two birds on your head! Can Piggie help her best friend? 2008 winner.
