Books with author James Proimos

Knuckle and Potty are tired of being lovable book characters. Together, they hatch a plan to venture to the Outer-world by clicking their heels and leaping off the pages into real life to confront the author and illustrator who created them. When that plan fails, a trip to Happy World is their last option. Simple: they’ll just erase Happy World with their de-zonker contraptions. Little do Knuckle and Potty know that Happy World isn’t as happy as they think.

First things fi rst, Patricia von Pleasantsquirrel is not a squirrel. She’s a girl—a princess, in fact, only she hasn’t found her princessdom. But that’s about to change. Inspired by a book she reads, Patricia sets off for a place where she can stay up till midnight, eat cake before dinner, and have not just a dog but a great white stallion. She fi nds it. And a whole lot more than she bargained for. James Proimos pays cheeky homage to a classic picture book favorite in this disarming, laugh-out-loud funny tale of a prideful little girl, her royal goldfi sh, her airplane, and her cadre of hippos. Two levels of comedy and plenty of visual gags make this a great read for kids and parents alike.
