When Kirby, a French Bulldog with a serious Napoleon Complex, moves to a new home in the quaint New England town of Strasburg, Massachusetts, and stumbles upon a forgotten secret laboratory, he realizes that his dreams of Planetary Conquest are finally within paw’s reach. But, suddenly, Kirby realizes he isn’t alone. Seemingly out of nowhere, a strange group of people appear, exhibiting what Kirby can only describe as superpowers! Kirby must rise up against all who stand in his way to emerge victorious in this ultimate quest for world domination.

Praise for Atomic Frenchie 
 
“Sweetly inspired lunacy of the highest order, a unique and perfect blend of comic book and novel that will delight readers young and old. Kirby’s lovably evil adventures are next-generation Pinky & The Brain. Sniegoski and McWeeney are mad scientists, and I can’t wait to read whatever madcap mayhem they cook up next!” —Christopher Golden, New York Times–bestselling author of Ararat 
 
“In the paper jungle when you hear the beautiful rhythms of the Tom-Toms (Tom Sniegoski and Tom McWeeney), heed their call and you will be rewarded to an unbeatable combo of prose and art. Atomic Frenchie has it all!” —Geof Darrow, comics illustrator (Hard Boiled, The Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot)

    “Armageddon-averting fun for fans of Jon Scieszka’s Spaceheadz and M.T. Anderson’s Pals in Peril” —from the author of Attack of the Fluffy Bunnies (Kirkus Reviews).  
     
    When film-loving twins Joules and Kevin Rockman left their summer camp, they thought their days of fighting evil bunnies from outer space were over. Surely there won’t be giant rabbits bent on world domination at their school, right? Wrong. Luckily, these bunnies aren’t FLUFFS (Fierce, Large, Ugly, and Ferocious Furballs)—sugar-addicted giant rabbits out to hypnotize and kill. Unluckily, they’re worse: the FOOFS (Fierce, Obnoxious, Odoriferous Furballs)—seemingly normal-size rabbits (with extra-large noses) out to take over the world! Can Joules and Kevin save themselves, and their school, from the Schnoz of Doom?  
     
    Seriously funny New York Times–bestselling author Andrea Beaty raises the stakes in this sequel to her zany, pulpy sci-fi farce. And, not to use Famous Last Words, but with illustrations by Caldecott-winning artist Dan Santat (The Adventures of Beekle, Crankenstein), what could possibly go wrong? 
     
    Praise for Attack of the Fluffy Bunnies 
     
    “A lighthearted, clever send-up of zany horror conventions, this book is just the thing for kids about ready for M. T. Anderson’s Whales on Stilts.” —Booklist 
     
    “Beaty’s storytelling is lighthearted and fast-paced . . . her unconventional and entertaining narrative make it a wholly fun read.” —Publishers Weekly

    This delightful picture book biography is “a stellar introduction to ‘the father of children’s literature,’ and a glorious example of dynamic bookmaking” (School Library Journal, starred review). In Balderdash!, acclaimed children’s book author Michelle Markel shares a loving tribute to John Newbury, the first pioneer of children's books. In the eighteenth century, children were given nothing to read but lessons and rules. John Newbery imagined books overflowing with entertaining stories, science, and games—and he caused quite a stir when he made this dream a reality.  Newbery—for whom the prestigious Newbery Medal is named—believed that every book should be made for the reader's enjoyment. He became a celebrated author and publisher, changing the world of children's books forever. This book about his life and legacy is as full of energy and delight as any young reader could wish.
