Zoe is the Queen of the whole Universe... but her favorite place in the Universe is her own room, where she hosts tea parties, builds empires out of blocks, and gazes out upon the stars. Then her parents announce that her little sister Addie is moving in to Zoe's room. Little sisters aren't good at tea parties (too rude), block-building (too clumsy), and starwatching (just plain too young!). So the Queen's new roommate is a royal pain... until Zoe discovers that even her smallest subjects can be useful in a storm!
High above the jungle floor, fearless Zoe, explorer extraordinaire, catches a glimpse of the rare wild Addiebeast. She springs over the treeline in hot pursuit - And then Zoe's mother calls, 'WE'RE LEAVING IN FIVE MINUTES!' Yet Zoe still has so much to do on the playground, which transforms into a jungle in her imagination! So against the ticking clock of Mama's countdown, she chases the Addiebeast across precarious logs (balance beams), escapes from wild monkeys in their natural habitat (the jungle gym), and climbs to the very top of the rainforest (a tree house). But can she catch the elusive creature in time?
Each day is full of possibilities, and Zoe wants to be ready for everything this one might bring. But that makes getting dressed really, really hard! If it's a twirling day, she'll need to wear the purple skirt. But if it's a cartheeling day, she'll want the polka-dot tights. Or it might be a hiding day, perfect for the flower crown that will help her blend into the garden... or a flying day, which demands butterfly wings! As the clothes pile up and Mama tells her it's time to go, there's only one way Zoe can be sure she's prepared for all the adventures ahead - a solution that will have parents laughing in recognition and kids nodding in satisfaction.

Yuck. A cheese and ham sandwich for lunch is way too boring. As young Zak stares at his plate, he grumbles. If only he had his own restaurant, he could eat anything he wanted. But wishes can come true in astonishing ways. In a flash, Zak is at a shining lunch counter. Under bright lights, a frizzy-haired waitress named Lou waits to take his order. With a grin as big as his appetite, Zak doesn't waste any time: double cheeseburgers, french fries, pizzas, pies . Join the adventurous Zak as he feasts his way through a meal that gets bigger with every bite. Margie Palatini is the author of several popular picture books, and in Zak's Lunch she captures every child's food fantasy. Narrator Jeff Woodman adds just the right flavor to her rib-tickling tale.
