In the mountains above Bearstone Village, a legend has found his mate. His name is Zeus, and for years he brought the thunder as an elite special forces squad leader and undercover bear shifter. Now that he's out of the service and living quietly in the woods above a remote mountain town, he has just one mission left. Win over the heart of the curvy waitress that his bear knows is his mate. Too bad Zeus knows more about combat than dating, and he hasn't yet managed to ask her out. Carly is just trying to make the best of things. Bad luck in love and in life has landed her in Bearstone Village, stuck with debts from a former relationship and making her way as a waitress. She enjoys the rare moments when she sees Zeus Wilson, a sexy recluse who comes down from the mountain sometimes to drink at the bar and fix Carly with a heated gaze in his sparkling blue eyes. Even if it seems like he's never going to make a move. But when a local motorcycle gang threatens Carly, Zeus is forced to intervene and take her back to his cabin where he can keep her safe. With the beautiful mountains around them, it's not long before sparks are flying between the bear and his sexy mate. But Zeus is afraid to tell Carly the truth about what he is, and the men who want to take her are quickly catching up. But he isn't called Zeus for nothing, and if anyone threatens his mate, this big bad bear is fully capable of striking them down.

The magic and wonder of winter’s first snowfall is perfectly captured in Ezra Jack Keat’s Caldecott Medal-winning picture book. Young readers can enjoy this celebrated classic as a full-sized board book, perfect for read-alouds of all kinds and a great gift for the holiday season. In 1962, a little boy named Peter put on his snowsuit and stepped out of his house and into the hearts of millions of readers. Universal in its appeal, this story beautifully depicts a child's wonder at a new world, and the hope of capturing and keeping that wonder forever. This big, sturdy edition will bring even more young readers to the story of Peter and his adventures in the snow. Ezra Jack Keats was also the creator of such classics as Goggles, A Letter to Amy, Pet Show!, Peter’s Chair, and A Whistle for Willie. (This book is also available in Spanish, as Un dia de nieve.) Praise for The Snowy Day: “Keats made Peter’s world so inviting that it beckons us. Perhaps the busyness of daily life in the 21st century makes us appreciate Peter even more—a kid who has the luxury of a whole day to just be outside, surrounded by snow that’s begging to be enjoyed.” —The Atlantic "Ezra Jack Keats's classic The Snowy Day, winner of the 1963 Caldecott Medal, pays homage to the wonder and pure pleasure a child experiences when the world is blanketed in snow."—Publisher's Weekly
