Groovy Joe is a fun-loving dog with a tub full of ice cream--which he shares with his unexpected dinosaur guests.

Pete the cat wears his school shoes when visiting the library, the lunchroom, the playground, and more while singing his special song.

Groovy Joe is a guitar playing dog who loves to sing and dance, and when many other dogs come and join him his home gets a little crowded, but the party is fun, and Joe is definitely a guitar hero.

When Santa falls ill and Christmas may have to be canceled, Pete the cat comes to the rescue.

"Mama Nut says it's bedtime, but Hazel Nut and Wally Nut just aren't quite ready to stop the fun and go to bed"--

Hazel and Wally want to be big and tall so they start rolling, picking up mud and goo that makes them seem bigger but leads to a series of problems they can avoid only if they keep rolling.

"When young children are immersed in joyful and engaging shared reading experiences throughout the day, they learn to love books and see themselves as readers. Eric Litwin and Dr. Gina Pepin provide practical tools and strategies to transform your classroom into a "reading playground"--a space where children read, sing, dance, and celebrate words and texts. Help your students experience the power of joyful reading!"--

Mr. Eric and Mr. Michael create a collection of fun and high energy songs that encompass a wide spectrum of musical styles.

Set to the rhythm of the classic children's song, Groovy Joe invites the reader to laugh, sing, explore, and best of all, hug a friend.
