Groovy Joe and More Awesome Reading Fun From Scholastic!

I received a very special surprise in the mail this week from my friends at Scholastic....Groovy Joe Ice Cream and Dinosaurs a new series that launched this past fall.  

This is the newest from two of our favorite...

author Eric Litwin (Pete the Cat) and illustrator Tom Lichtenheld (Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site).

Take a look to see what is in store for you and your readers as they...

take a musical adventure through this fun book about Groovy Joe, ice cream and...

lots of fun dinosaurs along the way.

I love how the characters all come together to sing, dance and share something they all love.

The fun doesn't stop there!  Just wait until you all do The Groovy Dance too!
