I had a wonderful time visiting Frank Morgan Elementary and sharing TORRIBLE PUNS to around 350 third through fifth graders. Their laughter was pure music to my ears and their enthusiastic questions were awesome. Loved every minute.

Always stay punny!

BAT, CAT & RAT #3: THE BEACH DAY, the follow-up to the Geisel Award-winning BAT, CAT & RAT #2: VACATION, by Ame Dyckman, Mark Teague, and the nice folks at Beach Lane Books, Simon & Schuster! In each picture book/early reader of 3-and-a-half stories, unlikely roommates-and-friends Bat, Cat, and Rat have funny little adventures in their cozy home, their cozy town, and beyond! THE BEACH DAY cover shows the trio carrying a beach umbrella and bags—TOO MANY bags, maybe?—for a fun day in the sand and surf. (But poor sweet Bat doesn’t know that trying to share your snack with hungry beach gulls is NOT a good idea! OOPS!) Available NOW for preorder wherever you love to get books, and publishes 4/29/25!
