Meet the Funjeepups, three curious and adorable woodland critters, in this "first comic" picture book series from the creator of Kitties on Dinosaurs!

In this story, Button, Dot and Dollop go on an overnight camping adventure!

Button, Dot and Dollop love exploring the magical forest they live in. They love vine swinging. They love guppie bumping. They love making nature art. But what they love most is returning home after an exciting day of adventuring.

The Funjeepups want to make a wish on a star, so they decide to go on an overnight camping trip. But with clouds in the sky, there are no stars . . . and no wishes! Button, Dot and Dollop make the most of the night, though — with treats, games and a brand-new friend who happens to glow. Maybe their wish can come true after all?

Young readers will be inspired to go on their own nighttime adventure alongside the Funjeepups in this light and funny picture book series by Michael Slack!

Praise for Funjeepups: A Star Wish

PRAISE FOR Kitties on Dinosaurs:

"Slack's jokey, cajoling narration adds to the fun of this silly romp. The digitally painted illustrations of round-eyed kitties and toothy cartoon dinos will entice fans of both to read or listen." —Kirkus Reviews

"Textured, motion-focused digital art in mellow tones complements the feisty, big-eyed kitties' nonstop action. An absurd conceit bolsters a lively story that encourages ambition, tenacity, creative problem-solving, and cuddling." —Publishers Weekly

PRAISE FOR Dinosaurs on Kitty Island:

"Young children will enjoy the mishaps and high jinks and perhaps take into consideration the feelings of others when playing. Children will enjoy interpreting the illustrations and bring their own takes to what is unfolding . . . Charming illustrations partner well with a simple story of playtime." —School Library Journal
