Why Is Mommy Mad?

Why Is Mommy Mad?

The story of Mommy Madtime

A tongue-in-cheek picture book about a sharp kid named Steve who discovers — with a little help from Dad — that Mommy Madtime comes about once a month. Adult humor. Pancakes recommended.

$16.95

Buford Poops

Buford Poops

The giant blue dog who saved the day

Clifford never mentioned the logistics. Buford does — and somehow those giant poops stop a bank robbery. Irreverent, colorful, and weirdly wholesome.

$16.95

Why Is Mamdani Mad?

Why Is Mamdani Mad?

City Madtime vs pancake time

Steve discovers City Madtime — billboards, free promises, and one very loud TV salesman. Dad walks him through a city weekend of empty shelves and out-of-service buses, then reminds him chocolate-chip pancakes still beat the pitch.

Rich Dog, Poor Dog

Spaghetti & Fred

Buford Has Puppies

Buford Has Puppies

A birds-and-bees primer (sort of)

Buford has puppies — pink, lime, and purple — and the whole town loses its mind (in the cutest way). Food math, poop math, The Question, a bank déjà vu, and Family Day cake.

What's the Economy?

What's the Economy?

GDP for people who still like pictures

Steve asks Dad what 'the economy' actually is. No jargon fog — just clear pictures of work, trade, inflation, and why free stuff isn't free.

Why Is Elizabeth Mad?

Why Is Elizabeth Mad?

Steve watches the news

Same Steve. Different foil. A satirical picture book about the angry lady on TV — and what Dad has to say about bitterness dressed up as policy.
