What could be better than a mash-up of two of the best things: Animals that say ROAR and THINGS that go VROOM!
The subway-snake slithers for commuters, the cow-cars stop to graze in the field, the bear-bus scoots to the den, and the salmon-submarine travels upstream. Whether on water, on land, or in the sky, these animals are on the go and invite you to join them! Young readers will be tickled and delighted by the witty and imaginative hybrid animal-vehicles on the MOOOve between these pages.
The perfect book for kids who love animals and trains, planes and automobiles!
Praise for Animobiles
"Frost's couplet-filled, rhymefest of silliness is sure to please young animal lovers and very little vehicle connoisseurs... Vehicular verses with an animal twist: storytime candy." ― Kirkus Reviews

Bear in a Bathrobe

by Maddie Frost

A delightful new picture book that encourages readers to step outside of their comfort zone with the help of a security blanket and some good pals, from powerhouse creator Maddie Frost.

It's wintertime and Bear is ready to stay indoors and cozy up in his bathrobe until spring. His bathrobe is the ultimate indoor experience because it keeps his ears toasty, has pockets for all of his snacking essentials, and allows for maximum relaxation all season long.

His friends look like they're having so much fun skating outside, and he could join them if he wanted to, but he's too busy having quality indoor alone time in his bathrobe to even think about going out into the wild. Besides, what if he fell and hurt himself, or slipped through the ice, or skated too far away from home? Winter is clearly the time for hibernation, not outdoor adventures.

But when Bear's friends share what makes them feel safe when they tackle new and sometimes scary experiences, Bear might just be ready to venture into the great outdoors and risk falling on the ice.

Maddie Frost's new picture book invites readers to courageously tackle new--and slightly frightening--experiences and reminds them that it's not about whether you fall or not, but how you get back up.
