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
