HOT DOG x CRANKY CRABBY CROW
THE HUNGRY CROW- modern twist on The Thirsty Crow! This time, the crow isn’t thirsty- he’s hungry. But not a crumb in sight…until he spots the toughest nut that refuses to crack. Now he must hatch a nutcracker-worthy plan…or go hungry! #Bluepit📖 #PB #POC #STEAM

THE COUCH POTATO x DON’T EAT BEES
Harry goes toothless trying to earn a coin from the Tooth Fairy- only to find pizza tastes awful without teeth! 😬
Desperate for chompers🦷before his big🍕party, he writes to the Tooth Fairy… but even magic can’t grant every wish overnight. #Bluepit📖 #PB #POC #humor #Q

SO MUCH SLIME x BATHE THE CAT
Dhara can’t resist water play. When her well-meaning sprays dampen Diwali's spirit, she feels more like a downpour than delight. But then fireworks fizzle into a fright, only Dhara knows how to save the night in her own splash-tacular way. #POC #Bluepit📖 #STEAM #Q #PB

SO MUCH SLIME x BATHE THE CAT

Dhara can’t resist water play. As her well-meaning splashes keep ruining Diwali, the festival of lights, she feels frazzled. But when fireworks flare out of control, she discovers that the brightest celebrations need just a little spark to shine. #POC #DVpit #STEAM

CREEPY CARROTS x FRIGHT CLUB
Sambi thought scarecrow was just a funny bunch of sticks until Mom told a story of a👻scarecrow that came alive & stalks the fields, sowing fear & harvesting nightmares.
Every scratch…rustle…creak chills Sambi to the bone.
Shhh… ScareGrow's coming! #DVpit #PB #POC #horror
