One morning a mother saw a strange bundle under the blanket in her bed.?What is it??, she said to herself. ?What can it be??So begins Ruth Krauss's charming story of a mother and child playing hide-and-seek. Baby hides beneath the blanket, and Mother tries again and again to guess what in the world the bundle could be. ?Can it be a bundle of laundry . . . a bundle of carrots . . . a monkey?? Children will delight in this familiar game and its satisfying ending.Originally published in 1951 as The Bundle Book, Ruth Krauss's timeless celebration of the wonderful moments between a mother and her child are brought to life by Julia Noonan's soft and playful artwork, making this a perfect story for new generations of young readers and for all families to share.

When a little bird is inside an egg, it cannot walk, it cannot sing, and it cannot fly. All it can do is be sat on. But when the time is just right: Pop!?out it comes. And then a little bird can do almost anything!With the same insightful simplicity of their classic The Carrot Seed, Ruth Krauss and Crockett Johnson celebrate the promise and confidence of little birds (and young children) everywhere.
