Another classic story from William Steig, the Caldecott and Newbery Medal-winning creator of Shrek!, The Real Thief follows a good-natured goose accused of stealing who must uncover the true culprit for the crime.

Gawain is a loyal and true goose serving as chief guard of the royal treasury. He'd been happy enough with his life at home tending his garden and making sketches of architectural masterpieces. Now he's being charged with stealing from the treasury. Gawain is certain of his innocence, but he can't prove it. Will the real thief come forward to save Gawain, or will he live in exile forever?

An abundant source of gluten-free recipes

This is turned out to be an amazing book that is used on a regular basis for cooking meals in our house. I like the fact that I was spiral bound so it's easy for me to work with.

Love this book!

I owned The Moosewood Cookbook in the 70’s and in a rash moment of downsizing, I gave it away. When I saw it on your site, I knew I wanted to own it again. And spiral bound was even better.
I fell in love all over again. The handwritten text, personal comments, and lovely doodles throughout make it so fun to read. Mollie Katzen has updated some of the recipes for healthier eating, giving the choice of which way to prepare the food to the chef.
The recipes are unique and based on providing fresh, flavorful food to put on your table.
It is just a delightful, fun cookbook to own, and for certain, I won’t give this one away!

Spiral-bound sheet music!

This was an awesome gift for my wife. She is learning guitar and loves the Beatles. The spiral binding makes it much easier to read and concentrate on the music. Will definitely shop here again!
