Book Description
As the three little murmels play in a leaky old arkel, a wild whirligig destroys their homeland and sets the arkel drifting towards an alien shore. While the shipwrecked murmels sleep, they are thrown into prison. They awake to hear the ruler of the land, the Boss Snig, telling them that as soon as their boat has been fixed, they must leave. There is little hope for homeless murmels until they are befriended by a young snig. Soon the four friends begin to share each other's lives and customs: their food, their games and their dancing.

Book Description
The creator of The Egg returns to her avian explorations with this wondrous, charming, and informative examination of feathers. Hailed as "a magnificent volume that offers hours of lingering pleasure... fertile ground for conversation and imagination," (Midwest Book Review) Britta Teckentrup's The Egg introduced children to one of nature's most perfect creations. Now, employing the same earth-tone coloring and delicate illustrations that have made her an enormously popular children's author, Teckentrup turns her gaze to the endlessly fascinating feather. What are they made of? Why do birds have so many of them? How do they help birds fly? And what other purpose do they serve? By providing accessible answers to these and other questions, this delightful book introduces young readers to the wonders of "plumology," while also drawing them in with enchanting illustrations. An exquisitely rendered fusion of art and science, this marvelous book satisfies young readers' natural curiosity about the world around them.
