In Frankenstein Doesn't Wear Earmuffs, a hilarious picture book debut from John Loren, a young boy with an overactive imagination gets ready to go trick-or-treating, but will his overly concerned parents ruin his plans for Halloween? A young trick-or-treater has the best Frankenstein costume ever . . . if he can make it out the front door! Every time he tries to set foot into the dark and stormy night, his parents interrupt with yet another warm and cozy addition to his costume. But Frankenstein does not wear floppy boots, or a puffy jacket, or a fanny pack. And he especially doesn't wear earmuffs! Will our young Frankenstein be able to break loose from his bundled layers and have the Halloween of his dreams? Or will he be overcome by the weight of a ghastly fall wardrobe?

In this monstrously funny picture book, an inquisitive young girl with some pressing questions proves these creatures may not be so scary after all. Tucked up in her bed, a little girl wonders about the creatures rumored to go bump in the night. But instead of pulling the covers over her head, she comes up with a list of important questions, like: Does Frankenstein get hungry? Does Dracula floss his fangs? Does the boogeyman have boogers? Does the thing that lives beneath my bed get lonely under there? With each inquiry, the little girl's confidence grows--proving monsters are no match for her imagination! From debut talent John Solimine, this laugh-out-loud picture book has all the silly and gentle reassurance kids need for a good night's sleep.

This is a laugh-out-loud funny and devilish send-up of Ludwig Bemelmans's Madeline for little monsters everywhere. Frankenstein is the scariest of all the monsters in Miss Devel's castle. He can frighten anything—animals, parents, even rocks. Until one night, Miss Devel wakes up and runs downstairs to find that Frankenstein has lost his head! Frankenstein by Rick Walton and illustrated by Nathan Hale is a delightful twist on a classic story that parents and kids can both enjoy together. This is the perfect funny picture book read for Halloween or the fall season. Praise for Frankenstein: “Walton twists the classic rhymes of the original with glee ('In two crooked lines, they bonked their heads / pulled out their teeth / and wet their beds') while Hale reenacts each scene with devilish mayhem.” -Booklist “The illustrations have traded sunny yellow for pumpkin orange backgrounds and make comically sly allusions to the original title.” -Kirkus Reviews

Hugo Sprouts is a fantastic tale about a boy frustrated with being small. Luckily, Hugo P. Sprouts is a mad scientist and determined to find a solution... In his lab, Hugo develops a potion and finally becomes the biggest kid in town--but also the biggest jerk around. Hugo has great power, but will he learn responsibility before it's too late? John Loren's latest action-packed, madcap picture book will make kids and adults laugh out loud. It's an original idea with plenty of mistakes, bad behavior, and growing up to do on Hugo's part. John Loren pitches readers a zany premise, similar to Judi Barrett's Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and Chris Van Dusen's If I Built A Car, and runs with it. The illustrations are bold and energetic, a perfect match for the story.
