UNICORNS ARE THE WORST!
Perfect for fans of Dragons Love Tacos and Unicorn Thinks He’s Pretty Great, this wildly funny and imaginative picture book celebrates the value of differences as a grumpy goblin gets to know his new unicorn neighbors.
It’s an undeniable fact that unicorns are the worst!
Magic is serious business, but all unicorns do is frolic around, have tea parties, and leave glitter all over the place! They’re nothing like goblins—practical and hard-working, who can put magic to good use! Unicorns aren’t helpful at all.
Or are they?

DRAGONS ARE THE WORST!
Mo Willems meets Bob Shea in this uproariously funny picture book about Gilbert the Goblin from the creator of Unicorns Are the Worst!.
Gilbert the Goblin is absolutely, definitely, one-hundred-percent certain that dragons are the worst.
They burn down everything in sight and they hoard all the gold. They melt every ice cream cone within a mile radius, and everyone is afraid of them. But really, it’s the dragons who should be afraid of Gilbert and his tremendous goblin power!
…right?

YETIS ARE THE WORST!
In this hilarious follow-up to Unicorns Are the Worst! and Dragons Are the Worst!, Gilbert the Goblin’s next adventure takes him to the frozen tundra where he’s determined to find the legendary yeti.
Gilbert the Goblin is the first to admit that he was, ahem, mistaken—unicorns actually throw the best tea parties, and dragons make delicious ice cream soup. This time, though, he can absolutely confirm that YETIS ARE THE WORST!
Sure, they may seem cool and mysterious, but once you meet one, he’s CERTAIN they’re not all they’re cracked up to be! And that’s what Gilbert plans to do: meet a yeti. That is, if he can find one…but how hard can that be?

ELVES ARE THE WORST!
Gilbert the Goblin infiltrates Santa’s workshop to prove that goblins are better workers than elves in the side-splitting latest installment in The Worst! picture book series, where even the strangest of creatures can become the best of friends.
Everyone knows that elves have a reputation of being the hardest workers around—especially when it comes to the holiday season—but as far as Gilbert the Goblin is concerned that’s nothing but ho-ho-hogwash. A goblin’s to-do list is just as long as any elf’s; they just don’t feel the need to sing songs about it.
To prove he can outperform any reindeer-watching, wrapper-paper-wielding, toy-tinkering elf, Gilbert puts on his merriest disguise to infiltrate Santa’s workshop. But can one lone goblin do the work of a whole team of elves?
Available for pre-order at Barnes & Nobles, Indiebound and Amazon.
THE WORST! BOXED SET
Perpetually unimpressed Gilbert the Goblin explains why goblins are superior to other, overrated magical creatures in this wildly funny and imaginative picture book series--the first four books now available together in a hardcover boxed set!
Gilbert the Goblin is sick and tired of other creatures getting all the good press. Goblins work harder than anyone putting magic to good use, while unicorns frolic around throwing tea parties. And dragons are just full of hot air...literally!
Then there are yetis. Don't even get Gilbert started on yetis! Their mystique only comes from no one having seen one before. Gilbert can prove they're not all they're cracked up to be--just as soon as he can find one. And who says elves are the only ones with the work ethic and know-how to keep the holidays humming? Gilbert is sure he can run Santa's workshop just as well as a team of overachieving elves.
Journey through Gilbert the Goblin's magical home and watch as the curmudgeonly naysayer discovers there's more to his neighbors than meets the eye! In the Worst! series, even the strangest of creatures can become the best of friends.
This laugh-out-loud hardcover boxed set includes:
Unicorns Are the Worst!
Dragons Are the Worst!
Yetis Are the Worst!
Elves Are the Worst!

Jasper & Ollie
Two funny, unlikely friends—a thoughtful, deliberate sloth and an impulsive, impatient fox—make their big debut in this hilarious new picture book celebrating friendship and the wonderful ways in which we're all different.
Best friends Jasper and Ollie decide to go to the pool. On your mark, get set . . . WAIT! As Jasper races ahead—crashing into the mailman, speeding past the ice cream truck—Ollie takes his sweet time, pausing to admire a butterfly, to smell a daisy, and to help the mailman pick up his letters.
With a clever design that shows Jasper's hectic morning compared with Ollie's casual stroll, this highly visual story allows young readers to easily recognize the differences between the two pals, as Jasper's increasingly frenzied search for his friend contrasts with Ollie's blissful walk toward the pool. It's a smartly paced, hugely funny celebration of our differences. Kids AND grown-ups will giggle as they decide if they're more of a "Jasper" or an "Ollie." It's also a great way to share the concept of "taking time to smell the roses"—a perfect lesson in our overly scheduled world.
Available now at Barnes & Noble, Indiebound, and Amazon.
JASPER & OLLIE BUILD A FORT
Celebrate the wonderful (and hilarious) ways in which friends can be different in this all-new, laugh-out-loud odd-couple story.
Best friends Jasper, a quick and feisty fox, and Ollie, a slow and deliberate sloth, decide to build forts in the yard. While Jasper’s enormous fort goes up in minutes (complete with a rock climbing wall, twisty slide and a moat), it’s Ollie’s humble fort that has what the pair need most . . . a place that they can share.
This highly visual story allows young readers to easily recognize the differences between the two pals, as Jasper’s increasingly frenzied building contrasts with Ollie’s more reserved and planned approach. It’s a smartly paced, hugely funny celebration of our differences. Kids AND grown-ups will giggle as they decide if they’re more of a “Jasper” or an “Ollie.” Which one are you?
