Vernon Is on His Way: Small Stories

64 pp. | Roaring Brook/Porter | June, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-1-62672-655-0 $19.99
(3) K-3 This significantly longer follow-up to A Home for Bird includes three short stories instead of just one. Patient toad Vernon gets some unexpected help from a snail, he goes on a nontraditional fishing outing with Skunk and Porcupine, and his two friends cheer him up when he misses Bird. Unfussy mixed-media illustrations perfectly capture Stead's laidback dry wit and lovable, oddball animal characters.
