Comic-book action meets picture-book adventure in this exciting and funny outing from beloved author Michael Rosen and illustrator Katharine McEwen. Tune in as a father reads his children a bedtime story about the exploits of two villains, Filth and Vacuum, and their wicked plan to suck all the money out of the banks and cover everything with muck and slime. Who is strong enough to save the world? Not Steel Man, nor Flying Through the Air Very Fast Man, nor even Incredible Big Strong Green Man. It may just be a job for clever young Brad Forty, who transforms himself into . . . Extremely Boring Man! His superpower is making people fall asleep — but will it work on the children listening to this story?

A hilarious jungle farce combining a take on the age-old hot potato theme and a case of mistaken identityOne day, a small, round, hairy thing fell from a tree . . . and landed right in front of Elephant. "What’s this?" Elephant rumbled, picking it up with his trunk. He hoped it was a tasty treat, but he was disappointed. "A coconut? I hate coconuts!" A case of mistaken identity is sweeping the jungle. Can Mama Monkey catch up with the mysterious flying fruit? And why is she so attached to it anyway? Bright, vivacious artwork brings this jungle romp to life with humor and a touch of pantomime; children will enjoy pointing out the monkey on each page. Fans of The Mole Who Knew it Was None of His Business will enjoy a similar fast-paced storyline and rib-tickling resolution.
