Ready...set...stretch! Can you stretch to the ceiling? Can you stretch to the floor? You can stretch with a whisper; you can stretch with a roar. There's nothing like a good stretch before you jump or wiggle or bounce or run, and the ever-energetic team of Doreen Cronin and Scott Menchin shows kids (and their parents) how a good stretch can be good fun. Especially if you're stretching your imagination at the same time! --Publisher

Dial Books for Young Readers, 2018. Bilingual Picture Book.
Told in equal parts English and Spanish by bestselling author Adam Rubin, and cinematically illustrated by acclaimed Hollywood creature creator Crash McCreery, this lighthearted take on a modern legend is not told in the traditional bilingual style.
Each sentence is half-Spanish/half-English followed by a repetition of the same line translated the other way around. This mirroring technique allows the languages to intermingle equally. A fun and unique way to introduce either Spanish or English to new readers. --Publisher

Meet a mouse narrator who stubbornly insists that this book contains absolutely no dragons—not even a claw nor a flame nor any large, pointy scales. Readers will know better—and enjoy being in on the joke—as a flock of dragons chase the mouse to the very end of the book within the book. Suspense builds humorously as the energetic text insists there are no dragons in this book, leading to a clever, unexpected ending. Clever artwork by Fred Koehler provides fun scenes to linger on and details to discover over multiple readings. --Publisher
