OUR LATEST RELEASE

Bryan Cranston reads
Professor Nincompoop

Professor Nincompoop is written by Jimmy Vee, illustrated by Ben Askew and published by Belly Laugh Books.

A foolishly funny tale about trusting your gut. Professor Nincompoop has discovered a new species of animal he’s sure will be his ticket into the Professors Hall of Fame. But when his two biggest fans, Nick and Tess, start to smell a rat, the professor doubles down on his ridiculous tale that sounds more like science fiction than scientific fact. Will the professor’s discovery indeed be new? Will his story indeed be true? Or will the kids make a surprise discovery of their own? Designed to be a funny anytime read aloud. This book is loaded with weird word play, ridiculous escalation, kooky characters, and has a humorous and heartfelt finish.
