Be Bold, Bob
Price: $18.99
Pub Date: June 3, 2025
Format: Hardcover
Bob the elephant follows his friend’s advice for letting go of stage fright in a sweet, encouraging story that will appeal to any child who experiences anxiety.
In the heart of the forest, everyone is getting ready for the big show. Everyone but Bob the elephant. Bob longs to sing on stage, but it’s impossible—he’s just too nervous. Whenever he tries, his ears get hot, his trunk feels tangled, and nothing but a tiny squeak pops out. When his friend Paloma, the ukulele-playing pangolin, shares her secret, Bob agrees to perform. But at the very last minute a minor disaster strikes and he can’t go on. Until, that is, he remembers Paloma’s secret—and how much he’d like to give her something in return. From the award-winning author of The Boy Who Loved Everyone, a story of overcoming your nerves and finding your voice.

It’s time for the Best Monster in the World Competition, and Albert can’t wait to enter his very own monster, Sidney, in the contest! Albert is absolutely sure that his pet is a winner.

Hedgehog's Magic Tricks
Price: $12.99
Pub Date: April 23, 2013
Format: Hardcover
A gentle picture book demonstrates that sometimes a little help from friends is all the magic you need.
Like many amateur magicians, Hedgehog finds that his tricks don’t always proceed as planned. Mouse doesn’t quite disappear, Rabbit (being larger than Hedgehog) is difficult to pull from the hat, and Duckling is not quite brave enough to endure a turn as magician’s helper. But when Hedgehog’s friends see how sad he is, they provide a surprise that results in everyone agreeing that Hedgehog is very good at magic after all. Preschoolers will delight in the sweet illustrations and in seeing what Hedgehog doesn’t — his friends helping to make his day magical.
My Dad Thinks He's Funny
Price: $18.99
Pub Date: April 9, 2013
Format: Hardcover
The ideal gift book for anyone whose dad makes them laugh — or roll their eyes.
When his son says “I’m hungry,” Dad says, “Hello, Hungry. Pleased to meet you.” Before slicing a cake for dessert, Dad announces, “There’s my piece. What’s everybody else having?” Tell Dad your foot hurts? "No problem. You’ve got another.” How is he feeling? “With my hands.” So when nothing’s up but the sky, or when jumping in the shower sounds dangerous, it may be a good time to share this book with someone who doesn’t need sugar because, well, they’re sweet enough already.
