Build the Shelf
Kingdom of Verse, Brambly Hedge, and more
Every kid deserves a shelf of books they'll carry into adulthood.
Kingdom of Verse is a new release from illustrator Owen Cyclops, collecting centuries of English poetry with illustrations that make Shakespeare and Dickinson feel alive for a five-year-old. A Boy Named Isamu follows a quiet day in the childhood of sculptor Isamu Noguchi, teaching kids to slow down and really look. D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths has been the definitive introduction to mythology since 1962. Brambly Hedge gathers Jill Barklem's seasonal stories of mice in the English countryside, with illustrations so detailed kids find something new every read.
