Every child who has ever tried to avoid bath time—and every adult who has been faced with a child reluctant to bathe—will recognize in this uncommon boa some fairly common bath-dodging techniques. C. Imbior Kudrna's hilarious illustrations capture all the subtleties of the boa's antics in this story that will forever change the way youngsters feel about bathing.

ZAHU By: H. Roc Traylor Once you become a man, what happens to the boy you once were? Does he just fade away, vanish, disappear, or does he reside inside of you? Sleeping, waiting to be wakened. Awake now and join Hroc Traylor through the eyes of Zahu and his childhood friend Abel. In the wilds of Africa, deep inside the jungle with its secrets, its mysteries, its adventure, and its danger. Come along with the boys as they go places they should never go, see things they can’t believe. Watch as they hunt and be hunted. When you look into your cat’s eyes, face to face, do you wonder what he sees? Are you ever afraid? Try that with a lion, the king of beasts. Do you want to be challenged? Or are you just a little boy hiding inside of a man sleeping?
