C. The Scariest Thing sells out!
---
Author Dave Derrick newest story I'm the Scariest Thing in the Jungle! is nearly sold out. So we're going back to press for its 2nd printing.
ForeWord magazine praised this adventure:
"In the style of an animated children's movie, this endearing book captures the voices of two young jungle tots...David Derrick imbues his characters with the spunky personality reminiscent of Simba and other classic movie friends, bringing them to life with colorful, cartoonish drawings and boastful dialogue. This tale of independence and humility will be adored by children..."
GeekMom chose it and Dave's previous book Animals Don't, So I Won't! for its 2013 Holiday Gift Guide.

Julie Black Belt: The Belt of Fire
By Oliver Chin, illustrated by Charlene Chua
"On her quest for her next belt, Julie learns that it's more important to look inside at your own progress than to compare yourself to someone else. She also learns the value of co-operation. The illustrations are colourful and fun, and even when the characters are just standing still, there is a feeling of action."
