Grammy Award winner and pop culture icon "Weird Al" Yankovic
delivers his first picture book, bringing his trademark wit,
wordplay, and silliness to a story that explores the timeless
question "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Funny and
charming, this is a celebration of creativity and possibility. An
Amazon Best Book of the Month! "The farce and parody make this a
rare book with appeal to both kids and adults" (Booklist). It's
Show-and-Tell time in Mrs. Krupp's class, and Billy just can't wait
for his turn! Today the class is discussing what they want to be
when they grow up, and our exuberant eight-year-old hero is
bursting to tell everyone about his future career plans. In
dazzling wordplay and delicious rhymes, Billy regales his patient
teacher and amazed classmates with tales of the variety of careers
he wants to pursue-each more outlandish and wildly imaginative than
the last!
Bill Nye the Science Guy meets The Magic School Bus! This is the
first book in a new STEM-based picture book series from the Emmy
Award-winning host of PBS's Design Squad and Design Squad Nation,
Nate Ball. With a lively cast of characters and vibrant
illustrations by Wes Hargis, it's an adventure in learning! Ever
wonder where water comes from and where it goes? Or why sometimes
it rains and sometimes it snows? Then join Nate Ball and his crack
team of curious scientists as they shrink down smaller than a
raindrop to see firsthand what the water cycle is all about.
I'll bet every great thinker and leader we've got. Could see all
kinds of things other people could not! Billy is a small boy with a
big imagination. Mr. Booth is a serious teacher with a strict
lesson plan. When the irresistible force of Billy's unrestrained
creativity meets the immovable object of Mr. Booth's fixed
worldview, one thing is obvious: someone is going to learn a lot
this school year! The irrepressible Billy, star of the New York
Times bestselling When I Grow Up, returns in an uproarious
back-to-school tale from the uniquely inspired Weird Al Yankovic.
Dazzling wordplay and sparkling rhyme combine in this appreciation
of the rewards of unabashed originality and the special joy of
viewing the world gently askew.
Martha's mom has banned her from playing soccer, and it's up to
Agatha Parrot to find a way to get her back into the game.
Meanwhile, Agatha's big brother, James, receives an email from an
unknown girl, and Agatha intervenes to start a correspondence on
his behalf. When she discovers the girl's love of spelling might
hold the secret to helping Martha get permission to play soccer,
the emails turn very warm indeed. Several forged emails--and a few
spelling tests--later, will Martha get to play in the big game? And
what will happen when Agatha's unknowing correspondent meets the
real James?
