It's Dana's birthday, so she can do what she likes. And what Dana likes to do is pinch. And call people names. And steal her classmates' desserts in the lunchroom.

You probably know a kid like Dana. What can stop her from being so mean? In this story, it's not what you might expect. Because sometimes it takes a little creativity (and possibly a very large pet) to change a mean kid's ways.

Ling & Ting are twins. They share a birthday. They bake cakes, and they make birthday wishes. They tell stories and wrap gifts. They also share a birthday secret!

Have fun with Ling and Ting! They stick together and look alike. But they are not exactly the same.

Mr. Putter and his fine cat, Tabby, love to take naps. But do they nap too much? What they need is a sport! Luckily, Mrs. Teaberry and her good dog, Zeke, know of a baseball team they can join. It's not long before Mr. Putter is ready to play ball with the Yankee Doodle Dandies, but will his creaky knees cooperate? And can Zeke avoid wreaking havoc on the field?

From single-panel jokes to long graphic novels, comics come in endless shapes, sized, and styles. But when you think of it, they all do one thing: tell stories.

Rabbit is excited: his friend Robot is coming to spend the night! Rabbit has left nothing to chance and has drawn up a list of all the things they will do. First off is making pizza, but Robot only likes nuts and bolts and screws on top (good thing he has magnetic hands). Next on the list is watching TV, but the remote is missing, and Rabbit is panicking! Will Robot find a logical (and rather obvious) solution to the problem? Number three is . . . uh-oh! Why is Robot lying down instead of playing Go Fish? And what is that message reading "BAT" printing out from a slot on his front?

Nate Foster has big dreams. His whole life Nate has wanted to star in a Broadway show. (Heck, he'd settle for seeing a Broadway show.) But how is Nate supposed to make his dreams come true when he's stuck in Jankburg, Pennsylvania, where no one (except his best pal Libby) appreciates a good show tune?

Criminals, crooks, and swindlers be warned: the kids of the New Cut Gang are on to you! This book details tow of their most cleverly cracked cases.

When someone begins passing counterfeit coins around their neighborhood, Benny and Thunderbolt jump on his trail. Until that trail seems to lead to Thunderbolt's own home...

Then, when some valuable silver is stolen, the only clues at the scene of the crime are a blob of wax and a distinctive match. The police are baffled! But not Benny. Now, if only the Peretti twins can engineer a jailbreak, he'll be able to prove his case...

When seventh grader Georges (the S is silent) moves into a Brooklyn apartment building he meets Safer, a twelve-year-old coffee-drinking loner and self-appointed spy. Georges is happy to hang out with Safer's warm, eccentric family, because lately things haven't been so easy at home: his dad lost his job, and his mom has started working extra shifts at the hospital. Life is no better at school, where Georges is the new target of Dallas, who is always on the lookout for other kids' weak spots (so he knows exactly where to hit them).
