Silly animals, toilets are for kids!
With its lively cast of critters and gentle humor, Toilet Tales has been helping youngsters feel at ease in the bathroom for more than 20 years. Now this giggle-inducing favorite returns with vibrant new watercolor illustrations and a few new creatures, too.
Page by page, young readers will delight at the antics of animals on the commode. Of course, a giraffe could never even fit through the bathroom door. A seal would slip right off the seat. And a sitting elephant would simply crush the potty to pieces. After many such comical bestial blunders, the story concludes that animals can never use toilets because toilets are meant for "big kids like you."
Featuring more than a dozen animals -- including kangaroos, an octopus, and even an orca whale and written with child-friendly wit, Toilet Tales is guaranteed fun for any toilet-ready toddler.

The second book in the Bing and Chutney Adventures series tells how a special friendship began.
Bing is a young pig. One day she moves into a little house. In the small garden she plants flowers and bushes. Bing loves her new house with its cozy fireplace, bookshelves, and workshop. By the road Bing erects a shiny red mailbox so that she can receive letters. But when she checks the mailbox, it is empty.
Although Bing is very happy, her home is missing just one thing: friends.
Bing decides to paint pictures of all the friends she can imagine.
At 1 o'clock she paints a giraffe
At 2 o'clock she paints a cow
At 3 o'clock she paints a rooster
At 4 o'clock she paints two kangaroos
At 5 o'clock she paints a zebra
And at 6 o'clock she paints a special picture of what her best friend should look like!Soon after, into Bing's home walks an elephant who introduces herself as Chutney -- and she looks just like the last picture Bing painted. They both know immediately that they will be best friends. Together they eat and tell stories far past bedtime, until they fall asleep together in front of the cozy fireplace. For Bing and Chutney it was the best day ever.
With a great imagination and a little creativity, Bing, an extraordinary pig, is able to make her dreams come true.

Bing and Chutney are best friends. After breakfast, Chutney decides it is the perfect day for a picnic. And the perfect place to go is Moosonee - by streetcar, of course.
Bing agrees that this is a wonderful idea and immediately sets about creating a feast. Macaroni salad, chocolate chip cookies, and apples are all loaded into an enormous picnic basket, which is then topped off perfectly by Bing's grandmother's red checkered blanket.
Bing and Chutney see the streetcar off in the distance and wait patiently. However, when it comes no closer, Chutney decides to investigate. The driver is fast asleep! They carefully move him to a seat and Chutney settles down behind the wheel.
Along the route they encounter several of their friends. Cow, Giraffe, Zebra, Kangaroo, and Rooster all join the outing. Up hills and down valleys they travel, until just before Moosonee an accident occurs: the picnic basket falls under the wheels of the streetcar. But the friends pull together and soon the picnic is saved. The day is a great success.
Praise for Bing and Chutney
"The point is not the pace, but the results. Friends support friends in this blithe fantasy with its strong message."
(Kirkus Reviews, October, 1999)"Theirs is an enviably happy life, its sweet domesticity captured by von Königslöw's endearing watercolors."
(Globe and Mail, October, 1999)"What comes through in the energetic, quirky illustrations is how much fun life can be."
(City Parent, September, 2000)
