HOT DOG x CRANKY CRABBY CROW THE HUNGRY CROW- modern twist on The Thirsty Crow! This time, the crow isn’t thirsty- he’s hungry. But not a crumb in sight…until he spots the toughest nut that refuses to crack. Now he must hatch a nutcracker-worthy plan…or go hungry! #Bluepit📖 #PB #POC #STEAM

SO MUCH SLIME x BATHE THE CAT Dhara can’t resist water play. When her well-meaning sprays dampen Diwali's spirit, she feels more like a downpour than delight. But then fireworks fizzle into a fright, only Dhara knows how to save the night in her own splash-tacular way. #POC #Bluepit📖 #STEAM #Q #PB
