How to Catch a Unicorn

by Adam Wallace & Andy Elkerton

A mischievous unicorn rides a rainbow to the zoo, and the kids want to catch it. Mom reads Adam Wallace's rhyming favorite with custom animations, told from the unicorn's point of view as she dodges a lemonade-stand trap, a penguin-pool splash, a pitch-dark nocturnal house, and a gift-shop pool of glitter, with a whole zoo of animal friends helping her slip away every time. Pure giggles, clever plans, and one very fast unicorn.

Froggy Learns to Swim

by Jonathan London & Frank Remkiewicz

Frogs are great swimmers, but Froggy isn't so sure. Mom reads Jonathan London's splashy favorite with custom animations, as Froggy faces his fear of the water one wobbly step at a time: a mask, a snorkel, flippers, and the silliest swimming chant ever (bubble, bubble, toot, toot!). A warm, funny story about trying something scary and the proud grin that comes after, with a gentle water-safety reminder at the end.

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie read-aloud video by Laura Numeroff & Felicia Bond

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie

by Laura Numeroff & Felicia Bond

It all starts with one little cookie. Mom reads Laura Numeroff's beloved circular classic with custom animations, following one eager little mouse as a single treat leads to a glass of milk, then a straw, a drawing for the fridge, and right back to where it all began. A giggly, irresistible romp full of cause and effect, where every happy little yes leads straight to the next.
