Princess
Frownsalot is a precocious young royal who gets whatever she wants
through the power of her pout. But her regal unruliness catches up to
her when her frown freezes on her lips; nothing she or her loyal cat do
can remove. So the King declares a royal emergency and brings together
the greatest minds in the kingdom to solve the problem. This is one of
John's most famous books and has been reprinted eight times!

A
warm-hearted story and delicious water colours combine to show John
Bianchi at his best. Set in Europe at the height of the impressionists'
popularity, The Artist tells the simple tale of Amelio, a young pup,
who dreams of making his living through his art. But as he grows up,
family duties and life's challenges intervene and Amelio puts his
talents to practical uses that seem far removed from his artistic
dreams.
[This
is a touching and inspiring story but potential public-institution
donors should know it ends with a trip to a very generic Heaven and a
painterly reward for a rather generic new angel who gets to paint
sunsets for "God."] See sample pages

Nineteenth-century
showman, J. Quigley Dumbleton opens a zoo in New York City, declaring
that it will be "The Greatest Zoo on Earth," filled with the biggest
and the best specimens the world can offer. But while J. Quigley
becomes quite rich and the visitors have a very good time, the caged
animals begin to waste away. A young cage sweeper offers a series of
not-always-successful solutions that eventually sorts out the problem.
