Dragon has just met the two most dangerous creatures to have ever entered his kingdom--princesses --in this charming picture book about an unexpected friendship. Scales and claws and fire-breathing jaws, that's what dragons are made of. Pink ribbons and pearls, all the sweetness in the world, that's what princesses are made of. Until now... When princesses invade the dragon's land, how will they ever learn to get along? Dragons Rule, Princesses Drool is a hilariously fire-breathing tale about finding friendship where you least expect it.

Maya was in a crispy, cranky, grumpy, grouchy mood. She didn't want to read or color or go outside and play. So she GRUMPED, GLUMPED, CLUMPED, and THUMPED around the house. Can Grandma's patience and humor coax Maya out of her bad mood?

An artful mixture of fantasy and reality, humor and heart, Maya Was Grumpy celebrates the power of imagination and humor to improve moods. Maya wakes up on the wrong side of the bed, tangled in her blanket, and in a crispy, cranky, grumpy, grouchy mood. She doesn’t want to color or wear her favorite shorts or go outside to play. What’s worse, she’s determined to share her grumpiness with everyone as she glumps, clumps, and thumps around the house. But when Maya growls at her grandmother, she graciously takes Maya’s mood in stride, and even has a solution: Gramma suggests a series of unusual activities that Maya will probably not want to do since she’s feeling grumpy—and then dismisses her own silly suggestions before Maya can reject them. Children will find it hard to keep from smiling as they watch Maya’s grouchiness dissolve into glee at Gramma’s giggle-inducing ideas, while adults will find Gramma’s clever tactic a useful strategy to add to their repertoire when kids are grumpy.
