Our new tale features a boy who loves animals so much, that he becomes them. But Ben has another good reason to change: this way he doesn't have to obey his parents to clean up, eat dinner, and take a bath. But little does he expect that his mom can transform too!
David Derrick (author of Sid the Squid) shares his funny fable with kids throughout Southern California at schools, stores, libraries, and the Santa Monica Aquarium.
Watch the animated trailer on YouTube.

It has a great synergy of traditional and modern art that just struck a chord with me. AMAZING! ...thank you, for creating such inspirational work."

Justin Time: The Pancake ExpressISBN: 978-1-59702-035-0, 36 pages, $15.95
"The Pancake Express tells the story of Justin and his friends trying to make it through the Canadian wilderness with their barrel of maple syrup in time for the Pancake Festival. The pictures are vivid and colorful and I loved seeing my boys able to point out and name all the characters since the characters were familiar from watching the series." - Natural Mommie
