New Releases by Julia Woolf

This rib-tickling romp starring two hilarious stuffed animals is an excellent pick for discussing sleepovers with anxious little ones. Duck and Penguin do not like sleepovers, despite what their owners, Betty and Maud, might have you think. They do not like snuggly sleeping bags, they do not like super-soft pillows, and they ESPECIALLY do NOT like being extra cozy together in a teeny-weeny tiny tent! But when Betty and Maud abandon Duck and Penguin outside, Duck and Penguin have no choice but to stick together. The dark outside is full of strange noises, after all, and they have the oddest feeling that...something...is watching them. From author-illustrator Julia Woolf, this picture book companion to Duck & Penguin Are NOT Friends is brightly illustrated and full of funny moments to share together.

A side-splitting insight into the secret world of toys, from former Dreamworks animator and illustrator Julia Woolf.
