Scholastic sent me this title, and is also providing a prize pack for one winner from my site#GroovyJoe
Eric Litwin and Tom Lichtenheld’s new picture book, GROOVY JOE: ICE CREAM & DINOSAURS.
I have a thing for children’s books, and Groovy Joe is no exception!
Meet Groovy Joe, a fun-lovin’, guitar-strummin’, doggy-ice-cream-eatin’ pup as he wrangles three hungry dinosaurs and soon has them singing, grooving, and sharing!
Groovy Joe was living the dream.
He had a spoon and tub of doggy ice cream.
And he started to sing:
Love my doggy ice cream! Love my doggy ice cream!How fun does this sound?
Here is a trailer that will tell you more about the book:
Eric Litwin, author of the bestselling and beloved Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes, and bestselling artist Tom Lichtenheld, illustrator of Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site, have created a captivating new canine character who will groove his way into readers’ hearts and have them grooving and giggling all the while. In his debut adventure, Groovy Joe faces three roaring dinosaurs hungry for his doggy ice cream! Oh no! But Joe knows just what to do and soon enough he has them all sharing while moving and singing along.
This sounds like a really fun book. I like its signature rhyme, repetition, and the musical writing style. Of course any good children’s book has some awesome, wild and witty illustrations, which come together to create an unforgettable new character who is all about positivity, creativity, and kindness. Now that Groovy Joe is here, get ready to get groovy!
The neat thing is that if your children want to hear the song, they can visit the website to hear the free downloadable musical performance. They can hear this rocking story in English and Spanish. Neat, right? Make sure your kids also check out “The Groovy Dance,” – Joe’s very own disco doggy dance track!
Eric Litwin is a #1 New York Times bestselling author who merges music and early literacy together. He is the author of the first four Pete the Cat picture books and the exciting new musical series The Nuts. Eric’s books have sold more than 6.5 million copies and won eighteen state and national awards, including a Theodor Geisel Seuss Honor Award. Eric is a popular performing artist who plays guitar, sings, tells stories, and brings books to life. Visit him at ericlitwin.com.
