<p>A beautiful collector's edition of three Sheree Fitch-tastic tales with illustrations from Hans Christian Andersen Award–winning illustrator Sydney Smith.</p>

<p><i>What if there was a purple planet with purple people on it?</i><br/> *<br/><i>I stuck my toes / In my nose / And I couldn't get them out</i><br/>*<br/><i>There were monkeys in my kitchen / They were climbing / Up the walls</i></p>

<p>In a lovely hardcover edition bursting with vibrant colour, The Fitch &amp; Smith Treasury presents the time-tested, rollicking rhyming books from Canada's Dr. Seuss and illustrated by Hans Christian Andersen Award–winning illustrator Sydney Smith, <i>Mabel Murple</i>, <i>Toes in My Nose</i>, and <i>There Were Monkey's in My Kitchen</i>, to a whole new generation.</p>

<p><b>Mabel Murple</b></p>

<p>A zany tongue-twister of a poem featuring Mabel Murple, a daredevil who rides a purple motorbike through purple puddles, skis on purple snow, and pours purple maple syrup on her pancakes. Winner of the Ann Connor Brimer Award for Children's Literature.</p>

<p><b>Toes in My Nose</b></p>

<p>Silly, funny, and outrageous, this is the book that launched Sheree Fitch's career as Canada's premier nonsense poet. From Popcorn Pete and Mabel Murple to Zelba Zinnamon, these are some of the best-loved poems and characters in Canadian children's literature. Winner of the Hackmatack Children's Choice Book Award for English Fiction.</p>

<p><b>There Were Monkeys in My Kitchen (first published 1992)</b></p>

<p>Willa Wellowby's house has been overrun by monkeys. They're ballet dancing, playing the bagpipes, listening to the Beatles, and causing mayhem and destruction all over. And the more Willa asks them to leave, the more havoc they wreak. Winner of the Canadian Children's Book Centre Mr. Christie Award for Best Canadian Children's book.</p><p>A beautiful collector's edition of three Sheree Fitch-tastic tales with illustrations from Hans Christian Andersen Award–winning illustrator Sydney Smith.</p>
