Sage's Adventures: C. J. Crompton

All six of Sage's third adventures, gathered into one beautiful keepsake volume.

Meet Sage again: a curious, kind-hearted kid growing up in an ordinary modern neighborhood where something extraordinary keeps happening. The animals talk back.

Across six warmly illustrated stories, Sage learns another lesson worth keeping. Rusty the Fox shows that it's okay to want something, and okay to feel sad when it slips away. Sunny the Butterfly proves that gentle warmth wins where a strong push never could. Ripple the Duck reveals that when plans change, the happiest thing to do is bend. Goldie the Hen shows that the best things are worth waiting for, one at a time. Barley the Horse teaches that help arrives once you put your own shoulder to the wheel. And Shelly the Crab discovers that the best way to lead is to show the way yourself.

Inspired by the enduring wisdom of Aesop's Fables but set in a world today's children recognize - school plays and rainy-day parties, muddy wagons and sunny beaches - these are gentle, funny, everyday stories with real heart. Perfect for reading aloud at bedtime, sharing in the classroom, or turning to together when a lesson needs a little help landing.

This hardcover collection brings together the third six Sage's Adventures picture books in one durable, giftable volume: a lasting treasury for children aged 3 to 8, and a natural choice for home shelves, school libraries and birthday tables alike.

The adventures continue.
