    Written by Eric Litwin

    Illustrated by Tom Lichtenheld

    Publisher’s Synopsis: Meet Groovy Joe, a fun-lovin’, guitar-strummin’, doggy-ice-cream-eatin’ pup as he wrangles three hungry dinosaurs and soon has them singing, grooving, and sharing! 

    Groovy Joe was living the dream.
    He had a spoon and tub of doggy ice cream.
    And he started to sing:
    Love my doggy ice cream! Love my doggy ice cream!

    Eric Litwin, author of the bestselling and beloved Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes, and bestselling artist Tom Lichtenheld, illustrator of Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site, have created a captivating new canine character who will groove his way into readers’ hearts and have them grooving and giggling all the while. In his debut adventure, Groovy Joe faces three roaring dinosaurs hungry for his doggy ice cream! Oh no! But Joe knows just what to do and soon enough he has them all sharing while moving and singing along.

    Ages 3-6 | Publisher: Orchard Books | 2016 | ISBN-13: 978-0545883788
