Go to Bed Fred is the story of a little boy named Brody and the trials and tribulations he endures as he tries to put his dog, Fred, to bed for the night. Fred has a very detailed bedtime routine which includes doggy treats, goodnight songs, and of course lots of hugs and kisses. And, you know, like dog, like owner, because it turns out Brody also has just a teeny-weeny bit of trouble getting to sleep himself. There are just so many things to do first! And so many questions running through his head, like Do fish have eyebrows? and Are farts just burps from your butt? Brody's mom has her work cut out for her as she wrangles her very active son into sleep mode (a nightly struggle some of you parents just might be familiar with).

The colorful and fun illustrations bring this delightful story to life, from Fred's adorably nonplussed expressions as he gets dragged through his bedtime rituals to the unbridled energy of Brody's wacky antics as he does everything in his power to delay the inevitable. This duo will charm you with their affection for each other, and kids and parents alike will relate to the nighttime drama of saying goodbye to the day. Author Carly Mottinger infuses this story with humor and laugh-out-loud observations. Go to Bed Fred delivers on cuteness and comedy and is guaranteed to become a family favorite.

We hope Go to Bed Fred will become a highlight in your own exhausting bedtime routines.

This sweet, cat's-eye view of the White House (Kirkus Reviews) is a quietly lovely portrait of a landmark (Publishers Weekly) as it tells the story of how Willow the White House Cat made her way from a farm in Pennsylvania to her new home and made new friends along the way, written by First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden.

When Willow leaves her cozy barn for Washington, DC, and the big white house where she will now live, Willow discovers new rooms to explore and is welcomed by the nice lady she met at Farmer Rick's farm. Soon, Willow meets so many new people--one who arranges the flow-ers, another who makes sweet things to eat, and the man with a nice smile who seems to be able to do everything at once. Even though they are much bigger and busier than she is, each of them always seems to have time to say hello and make her feel at home in the big white house. Willow enjoys discovering the White House and all the special people who make this house a home.

Jill Biden, First Lady of the United States, an educator, and a New York Times bestselling author, tells the story of Willow, the White House cat, and about the very special place she and President Biden call home.

There's just one problem--Scorch is kind of adorable. So adorable, in fact, that it's all anyone ever notices.

Put to the ultimate test, she finds power in being ferociously adorable and killer cute.
