Little bear and little tiger live in a little house by the river. One day, a wonderful-smelling crate floats past them, with the word PANAMA written on it. Little bear and little tiger decide that Panama must be the land of their dreams, and set off on a quest to find it. A touching story about learning to appreciate what you have. “Janosch’s pictures of the adventurers have kindness as well as wit, reinforcing and extending the text.” —NBL Children’s Books of the Year
While other people’s trees are in full bloom, poor Henry’s tree never bears a single apple—until he makes a wish with all his heart for just one apple. At last, his tree gets a flower and soon the apple begins to grow—bigger and bigger—until all Henry cares about is guarding his apple. With no friends left, Henry struggles to bring the huge apple to market, but nobody wants to buy it—they don’t believe it’s real. All seems lost until an insatiable dragon attacks the country. Could Henry’s apple save the day?
