Let's give this book some SLOCAL love!

Take a trip through the sights of San Luis Obispo, from the gooey Bumble Gum alley, to the beautiful San Simeon Pier. Whether you are a born and raised Slocal, a Cal Poly Grad, or someone who has enjoyed vacationing on our beaches, you are sure to love this beautiful tribute to San Luis Obispo.  Written and illustrated by SLO locals, Jennifer Kirn and Gay Melody Sullivan, this story captures the beauty and diversity on the central coast. This book has quickly become a best-seller for us at Whiz Kids and it is easy to see why! 

Feel the soft feathers of the owl, the bumpy skin of the toad, the delicate antennae of the moth, and much more as you make your way through the multisensory journey of 'Touch and Explore: Animals at Night'. The newest addition to the critically acclaimed 'Touch and Explore' series is equal parts education and entertaining! The world of nighttime creatures is just a flip of the page away with this adorable and engaging bedtime favorite! 

"Have you ever wanted to crawl into a cookbook and live in its world? That’s how I feel when I page through Erin Gleeson’s gorgeous The Forest Feast for Kids."

If you are trying to get your kids excited about adding vegetables to their diet, look no farther than 'The Forest Feast For Kids'. The first Children's book from New York Times bestselling author Erin Gleeson is so beautiful and colorful that you will be running to the closest farmers market to get started. "To be tasty, recipes don't need to be complicated," says Gleeson, "My goal is for you to have fun..., be creative, (and) try some new ingredients".

"This is a book every grandma and grandpa probably need to go ahead and buy to keep at your house for those times when your grandkids come over. It's quite humorous! Factual, too."

The bestselling writing and illustrating team of 'How To Babysit A  Grandma' and 'How to Babysit a Grandpa' are back! Jean Reagan and Lee Wildish's new book is just as sweet, silly, and smart as their last! I love this series and its sweet portrayal of an effortless and loving bond between the grandchildren and their grandparents. The young siblings empower the readers to navigate spending time with their grandparents and to take charge of their literacy and imaginative storytelling!
