Little Fox and the Wild Imagination

Description

After a rough day at school, Little Fox looks to Poppa Fox for cheering up-and Poppa Fox knows a wacky game of pretend is just what Little Fox needs. They become Transformer-style race cars, speeding their way toward a bus stop. A special treat turns into a rocket ship ride to Planet Ice Cream. But once Little Fox's imagination has been unleashed, there's no turning back . . . and bathtime and bedtime become the ultimate battle. Debut author Jorma Taccone, member of the hit comedy trio The Lonely Island, has paired up with New York Times-bestselling, Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator Dan Santat to create a special father/son picture book with equal parts outrageous adventure and irresistible warmth.

Jorma Taccone is a comedian, director, and writer. He is a member of the comedy troupe The Lonely Island with Andy Samberg and Akiva Schaffer. Jorma has an Emmy, multiple Writers Guild Awards, and a Peabody, which he does not think he deserves. Born in Berkeley, CA, he now lives in New York City with his wife and their son. Little Fox is his first picture book. Dan Santat is the Caldecott Medal-winning and New York Times-bestselling author and illustrator of The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend, After The Fall (How Humpty Dumpty Got Back Up Again), and Are We There Yet? His artwork is also featured in numerous books. Dan lives in Southern CA with his wife, two kids, and many pets. dantat.com

"A beautiful story about our imagination and how it can change our mood, our minds, and our lives. It's good book for any little person who has a lot on their mind." --Amy Poehler, author of Yes, Please! "A tremendously fun book from one of the warmest, most creative fathers I know." --Seth Meyers "This adorable story of father-and-son bonding is as sweet as it is funny." --Al Weird Al Yankovic "Little Fox and the Wild Imagination is a loving look at the power of imagination and what happens when we lead our kids with love." --Maya Rudolph "Little Fox and the Wild Imagination had me at 'Pfffffft!' It's a gorgeous, epic adventure that's fueled by shared imagining born out of love. It has obstacles and struggles, as an epic must. It's exciting, seriously good-hearted, and very funny--words and pictures both. And maybe best of all (spoiler alert) its penultimate scene features 5,000 books!" --Tony Kushner, author of Angels in America "Santat continues to be a master at balance and composition . . . Parents looking to cheer a moody kid up will find inspiration and a word of caution here." --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
