About the book:

My father knows the names of things. . . . And teaches all the names to me.

From each bird that sings, to every kind of cloud, to all of the planets, the father in this story knows the names of them all--and takes the time to impart his knowledge to his child. As they walk together outside, the father points out which mosses are the fuzziest and which insects are the buzziest, which flowers are the tallest and which beetles are the smallest. Jane Yolen's lyrical text is complemented by Stephane Jorisch's soft artwork, a pairing that is touching without being overly sentimental, which makes this the perfect choice for fathers and children to share.

Quick answers:

What is an overstock book?

Overstock happens when publishers print too many copies, or when a store returns books back to the publisher. Overstock allows us to offer splendid titles at a fraction of the retail cost!

What condition are overstock books in?

Overstock books are new books! They sometimes have a small mark to indicate that they've been remaindered. Other times, they might exhibit signs of shelf wear, like mild scuffs or leftover retail stickers. If we receive a book that isn't in good condition, we set it aside and don't sell it.

Do you accept returns?

All our books come with a money back guarantee. If for any reason you aren't happy with your purchase, just let Nicholle know (help@bushelandpeckbooks.com) and she'll issue you a full refund. No need to mail books back, either! Just donate them to a good cause and we'll call it even :)

How long do books take to ship?

Orders usually ship in 1 business day but can take up to 10 business days if we're waiting on incoming stock. We'll get your books to you as quickly as we can!
