A rambunctious crew of dinosaurs shakes tails and stomps feet through a string of silly dance moves — the Shimmy Shimmy Shake, the Quivery Quake, and a rollicking Cha Cha Cha.
A barnyard full of animals kicks up a rollicking square dance, with a fiddle-playing cow calling the moves as pigs, sheep, and horses twirl across the pages.
A cheerful taxi driver named Dan cruises through town picking up a band member by member, each new passenger adding fresh sounds and colors to the growing crowd inside his cab.
A Siamese kitten with an overactive imagination transforms into El Skippito, a mask-and-cape sword-fighter, ready to take on banditos and a bad bumble-beeto to save the day.
An alphabet journey with superstar Lil Nas X and his pony Panini, riding from sunup to sundown through wide-open pastures, boots, guitars, and cowboy hats — one letter at a time.
A band of monkeys drums, hums, and dances through a bouncy rhyme, inviting little ones to find their own hands, fingers, and thumbs along the way.
Dinosaurs of every shape and size stomp, wiggle, and boogie their way to a swampy clearing, gathering for one huge, thundering dance party.
A girl named Sally travels to town walking backward and upside down, picking up a silly pig, a silly dog, and other funny friends who join her topsy-turvy parade.
A rhyming celebration of toddler hands moving through a day — holding, molding, catching, throwing, waving hello and goodbye, clapping, and even tying a shoe.
A parade of rhyming oddballs takes readers from near to far and here to there — a bumpy Wump, a singing Ying, a winking Yink who drinks pink ink — with no plot but plenty of silly counting and rhyming along the way.
A sound-making wonder named Mr. Brown moos like a cow, hoos like an owl, buzzes like a bee, and even chews gum like a grum-grumming hippo, daring readers to make every noise right along with him.
