Eggs, Please! (Board Book)

In this die-cut board book shaped to mimic plates, readers will discover 26 different varieties as they eat their way through the alphabet. Who knew eggs could be served so many ways: baked, boiled, fried, but also skewered, whipped, over rice, and in soups. Eggs, Please! also provides a culinary tour of the world, highlighting dishes from 20 different countries, covering North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, India, Australia, and the Middle East. With each new letter, a new food is introduced identifying its country of origin and name written in both English and the country’s native language. Ages 0-4.

The Fairy Tale Fixers. Case File #1, Cinderella

The Investigators meet The First Cat in Space in this hilarious graphic novel. Fairy and Mouse will forever change young readers’ perspectives on stepmothers, princes, and pumpkins as they help Cinderella set things right when her carriage veers off course. Every fairy tale needs a fairy. Because sometimes stories go off the rails, and this fairy knows just what to do to fix them. Actually, he doesn’t . . . And sometimes he needs help. A lot of help. Which is where Mouse comes in. Together, she and Fairy will make sure this tale has a happily ever after—just maybe not the one you expect. Ages 6-10.

The Boy, the Mountain, and the Serpent Who Ate the Moon

The town of Santo Cristo is known for two things―their colorful town fiesta capped off with a solemn evening procession, and the dozens of people that have disappeared over the years. When three kids―the headstrong Bayani, stubborn Isay, and anxious Aaron―find their way over the other side of a mysterious bridge and to a long-forgotten island of myth, they’re faced with monsters, cryptids, and sinister characters. In this land of Night, they must find their way back to their world and keep their light burning bright lest they lose themselves too. Ages 8-12.
