Happy Howloween: A Canine Pop-Up Treat

Be Brave

Friendship

Boo the Ghost absolutely loves Halloween! There’s just one little problem: Boo is terribly afraid of the dark! As a ghost, this simply will not do—ghosts can’t be afraid of the dark... right? Boo seeks the help of his most trusted monster friends who help him learn a valuable lesson. Kids will love following along with Boo and his friends as they make stinky potions, boogie down on the dance floor and howl at the moon. In the end, little ones will learn that even though being brave can be really hard, friends and loved ones can help us be courageous when we feel too scared to do it on our own.

With charming illustrations and a heart-warming message, Ghost Afraid of the Dark is a spooky delight for the whole family! Ghost Afraid of the Dark is written by Sara Conway, illustrated by Alex Willmore, and published by Rainstorm Publishing.

A ghost that’s afraid of the dark?! How can this be? Come follow Boo as he learns about bravery.

Curious George®

Back to School

New Books

George is so excited he can barely eat his breakfast. Today is his first day of school—and he’s been invited to be a special helper in Mr. Apple’s class. When George arrives, the other kids are excited to see him. George jumps right into helping: He holds the book during story time, he lets the kids count on his toes and fingers, and he makes sure everyone has a ball at recess.

When it comes time for painting, George begins mixing paints to make new colors. But when he gets carried away, he makes a mess. And when he tries to clean it up, he makes an even bigger mess. What will George do now? Maybe he isn’t such a good helper—or maybe he just needs a little help from his friends.

Based on Margret and H. A. Rey’s timeless character, Curious George's First Day of School shows how teamwork and inclusion can solve problems that we can’t solve on our own. It also demonstrates how even the best intentions can end up making a big mess. This animated book stays true to the original watercolor and charcoal style. Published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company.

During George’s first visit to school, things start out great—but then an accident threatens to ruin the whole day.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by...

Robert Frost’s classic poem, The Road Not Taken, comes to life like never before with this beautiful and touching companion presentation. Heartwarming illustrations accompany the original text, as we follow a young boy on his journey through a yellow wood. When a fork in the road arises, the boy is faced with a choice–the first of many in life. By journey’s end, the boy (now an old man) reflects on the sweet satisfaction of a life fully lived. 

The first children's book ever made of Frost's famous poem, this moving presentation is wonderfully illustrated by Vivian Mineker and proudly published by Familius, a values-driven publisher on a mission to teach, inspire, and bring families together.
