Children's Books

Watch these shelves for many of our best-loved classic stories. From Pinocchio to Treasure Island, Sleeping Beauty to Shakespeare — in traditional and graphic formats.

The Chronicles of Harris Burdick by Chris Van Allsburg

The award winning author of books like Jumanji and The Polar Bear Express brings us these "chronicles" to accompany the "illustrations" of Burdick left to readers back in 1984. If that doesn't make sense you'll find the introduction by Lemony Snicket to this beautiful book will set the mystery right. Join him and 14 major authors, from Kate DiCamillo to Stephen King and Jon Scieszka for this addition to the oeuvre of possible story lines behind the enigmatic pictures.

Everything Goes: On Land by Brian Biggs

This book reminds the reader of Where's Waldo but is more than seek-and-find. It is full of mini-story lines and funny details all focused on cars, trucks, bikes, trains and more. Take a ride with author and illustrator Biggs and be surprised where you end up. For ages 4-8.

What to Do When You Worry Too Much by Dawn Huebner

"Did you know that worries are like tomatoes? No, you can't eat them, but you can make them grow, simply by paying attention to them. If your worries have grown so big that they bother you almost every day, this book is for you. What to Do When You Worry Too Much guides children and parents through the cognitive-behavioral techniques most often used in the treatment of anxiety." For ages 6-12 (from the back cover)
