A whale of a story, Simon James’ Dear Mr. Blueberry is a charming collection of correspondence between a wildly imaginative little girl and her teacher. Emily enlists Mr. Blueberry’s expertise regarding a whale who takes up residence in the family’s pond. But Mr. Blueberry explains that Emily’s fine-finned friend must be a fish out of water! Now what should Emily do?

A sweetly silly story of a little boy and a dog who make an unlikely (but perhaps perfect) pair. Everyone knows that owners and their dogs belong together in a unique way. Polly belongs to Molly, Eric belongs to Derek, Berry belongs to Terry. But poor Mr. Scruff, alone in the rescue shelter, doesn't belong to anyone. Then a boy named Jim walks in, and they seem to get along. Jim and Mr. Scruff don't look anything alike, and their names certainly don't rhyme, but they may end up belonging to each other just the same. From author-illustrator Simon James comes a warm, winning story about friendship and finding a home.
