New! It's time to THINK HAPPY!
|
|
When you think happy, anything can happen! You can cheer yourself up in lots of ways. Try being friendly to someone in need of a friend. Do something you think is fun, like riding a bike or putting on a show. Keep thinking happy thoughts. And even when you don't feel lovable, remember that you are loved by many people.
"This book will become a classic for your child when they need a mental boost to lift their spirits and allow happiness back into their life. I give this book a high-five for the good feelings it gave me!"
- Stories For Children Magazine
"As in SMILE A LOT! (2002), Frog and his friends look on the bright side, and Carlson teaches lessons about positive thinking with humor..."

New! Henry And The Valentine Surprise |
|
What's the surprise? 
Just before Valentine's Day, Henry and his classmates discover mysterious heart-shaped box on their teacher Mr. McCarthy's desk. 
Who's it for?
As the students spy on Mr. McCarthy, they see him talking to the playground monitor, smiling at the lunch lady, and eating with the French teacher!
How many girlfriends does Mr. McCarthy have?
When Henry finally asks Mr. McCarthy just who that heart-shaped box is for - the class gets a big Valentine's Day surprise!
"Nancy's trademark humorous text and candy-colored illustrations showcase just how sweet Valentine's Day can be!"
- Viking
"Told with mounting suspense, this mystery has a delightful and satisfying conclusion."
- School Library Journal
"Carlson's familiar characters provide a sweetly thought-provoking Valentine interlude for the early-elementary set."
- Kirkus Reviews |

2008 Minnesota Book Awards Finalist!
Blast off with Henry !!...
"Using brightly colored illustrations and a laugh-out-loud text, Nancy
Carlson shows creative minds how they can use their own amazing
imaginations." - Viking
"... entertainment is where it's at. Carlson's point is wrapped in sly
humor and emphatic colors, giving cues as to how a time-honored brand
of story telling - the great tall tale - ought to be delivered.
Readers will realize... that brightening someone's day with a stretch
of the imagination is a gift."
