TUESDAY: Roscoe Riley


What child doesn't love noise? Roscoe even has a collection of noisy stuff! When his friend Emma brings shoes with "built in noise" to school, Roscoe thinks they are brilliant. But once he starts taking tap lessons and agrees to be in the talent show, he starts to wonder if tap dancing is just for girls.... (Roscoe Riley Rules #5: Don't Tap Dance on your Teacher)

We LOVE Roscoe. We love his innocence. We love his honesty and his wonder - and his best intentions, no matter how they go awry. Each story starts with Roscoe in time out for breaking a rule, like "Never glue your friends to chairs." The illustrations are great and really add to the story. Roscoe's stories are for kids 4 to 8 years old.

#6 - Never Walk in Shoes that Talk will be released on June 23
#7 - Never Race a Runaway Pumpkin will be released on August 25
