Summary

Wilbur the Duck Who Flew Upside Down

Wilbur Mallard is a very odd duck. He is bright orange with purple spots and a great big bright purple thing-a-ma-jig on top of his head. Every time Wilbur tries to fly, that thing-a-ma-jig spins him upside down! When he tries to land, he always ends up bouncing, somersaulting, and finally crashing or splashing in a heap. Ducks aren’t built to fly upside down, so Wilbur has to work much harder than the other ducks to fly. Poor Wilbur! But these challenges and differences help Wilbur in many ways. Find out how as you join him on this great and exciting adventure that will make many warm memories and hearts of all ages smile.

Sunny Saves the Day

Grumbly and Gruffina Grumpadinkle are always grouchy. Their mood is always gloomy, the weather always glum - and not a single soul could make the Grumpadinkles smile, chuckle, or guffaw - not even a teehee! Until, that is, little Wendy asks the cantankerous, cranky couple to watch her puppy Sunny. “We’ve never had a dog before,” Grumbly says. “It sounds like he could be a chore.” With a grumble or two, the Grumpadinkles relent, and find themselves puppy-sitting a rambunctious, playful pup that makes a mammoth mess - icky eggs, shattered plates, and spilled milk everywhere! But what is happening to Gruffina and Grumbly’s scowls? Find out what happens when a rascally pup turns their whole house - and grumpy lives - upside down. Russ Towne’s Sunny Saves the Day delights children and adults, keeping them giggling with every fantastic, whimsical rhyme, and illustrates how a simple act of compassion (even when you’re feeling sad) can turn a frown upside down and open the door to new friendship.

Rusty Bear and Thomas, Too

Two most unusual friends work together to save a sick mama bird and her babies. Once again, Russ Towne takes us on a colorful journey through the experience, adventures, and joys of childhood. Rusty Bear and Thomas, Too shows children the magic of imagination and the power of persistence, compassion, and working together.

V.G. and Dexter Dufflebee

Dexter Dufflebee gets stuck in a huge thorn bush. The only one around to help is teeny person who is only the size of Dexter’s nose! From endearing, cheerful rhymes to brightly colored, full-of-life illustrations, Russ Towne’s V. G. and Dexter Dufflebee teaches children that you can be a big help no matter how small you are. A day of exploration leads to a rather prickly situation for Dexter Dufflebee when he gets stuck in a thorn bush!
