Miranda Paul's new picture book, BLOBFISH THROWS A PARTY, launches May 2nd! I previewed the book and it is filled with fun and emotion to rock your waves. Blobfish has some problems: alone in a deep, dark sea, no friends, and no treats. When he decides to throw a party to remedy his life, he sets off a global party. Hilarious results ensue, but will they resolve Blobfish's problems? Maggie Caton's colorful illustrations add to the jolly merriment.

EDAMAME DELIGHT
by
Charlotte Dixon


Maisy counted at the table...
“One edamame...
two edamame...
three edamame...
FOUR!”
Six edamame plopped on the floor.
THUMP...
“Uh-oh!”
“Is your plate clean?” asked Mom.
“Almost,” said Maisy.
Crawling, Maisy counted...
“Five, six...
seven, eight...
nine...
TEN!”
Maisy sowed her edamame...
in Mom’s macrame!
“All done,” shouted Maisy.
