Z Is for Moose
Caldecott Medalist Paul O. Zelinsky illustrates Kelly Bingham's outrageously funny, critically acclaimed, and boundary-breaking story about a moose, a zebra, and the alphabet! Zebra wants to put on a show as simple as ABC, but Zebra's friend Moose has other (unexpected and hilarious) ideas!Zebra thinks the alphabet should be simple. A is for Apple. B is for Ball. Easy! But his friend Moose is too excited to wait his turn, and when M isn't for Moose (Mouse gets the honor), the rest of the letters better run for cover.Exuberant and zany storytelling brings to life two friends and one laugh-out-loud comedy of errors that's about friendship, sharing, and compromise.The incomparable Paul O. Zelinsky's artwork is bursting at the seams--literally--with child appeal. Breaking the borders of the page, and creating the art both digitally and traditionally, Zelinsky turns convention on its head. The result is a picture book that is innovative, hilarious, and begging to be read over and over again.Z Is for Moose will bring laughter and fun to every story time and alphabet lesson, whether in school or at home.Named a Notable Book for Children by the American Library Association

Teen Titans Go! Go Big or Go Home!
You just can't keep a good team down, no matter how much (evil) misunderstood editors try! This team can triumph over mysterious disappearances, relative popularity, fan mail, hot dogs, monster trucks, and sports. The Teen Titans go to hilarious and chaotic extremes to stay relevant after their comic gets canceled. They reinvent themselves in various artistic styles--like robots and indie-comics characters--but when that doesn't work, they resort to sabotage. Meanwhile, Cyborg goes missing, and conflicting stories from Raven, Starfire, and Beast Boy muddle the investigation, involving everything from Atrocitus to a space-cat rescue. Robin's surprise-party plans spiral into sitcom-style chaos with fake identities and mistaken birthdays. A failed alien invasion gives the team unexpected downtime, which they fill by answering fan mail--until they accidentally activate a deadly Amazo robot. Starfire tries to prove her patriotism after a national-anthem mishap, leading to a disastrous tour of American culture. And finally, Robin's ego takes a hit when Titans East has more trophies, prompting him to drag his team into every local contest to reclaim their title. A wild, comedic celebration of Teen Titans absurdity!
