Kids dressed in fancy clothes are having tea in a garden. Tea party. Tea time illustration

Wouldn’t it be a #DREAM to have a tea party in the forest, dressed in fancy clothes and surrounded by friends? But wait, someone is watching them…

Two cartoon kids going wild and the text around them reads THEY REJECT BEDTIME! THEY GO.. BONKERS UNTIL... BrianKirbyStudio.com

Repetitive cartoon panels show a dad brushing his teeth. The text reads: BUT FIRST I BRUSHED MY TEETH. BRUSH BRUSH BRUSH GARGLE GARGLE This really is boring. MORE GARGLING Below the panels are two kids faces, observing “This is the most boring page in this book.”

#BluePit 📖 #pb When two overtired kids resist bedtime, Dad uses a secret weapon: INCREDIBLY BORING STORIES. If the reader stays awake, they’ll witness a showdown between the world‘s most tedious dad and kids who hold out hopes for dracula vs. dinosaur battles. #OS BrianKirbyStudio.com

Illustration of a vampire unicorn in a flowing cape in from of a stained glass window turning toward the viewer - text reads COUNT RAINBOW

Rainbow the unicorn hates the nicknames friends in Sparklevania give him (Cutie Patootie!?), but a run-in w/ a dracula bat transforms him into the fearsome (?) COUNT RAINBOW! His new evil persona drives his friends away until a nickname slip up rocks the town. #BluePit 📖 #pb #OS BrianKirbyStudio.com

Picture book illustration of various family members in gilded frames against an art deco background, and a mustachioed constable and turkey in floppy hat and bow tie consider clues. Test reads: WHAT'S THAT?! SOMETHING DOESN'T ADD UP? THE VICTIM: A SMOOSHED CRANBERRY THE SUSPECTS: THE CARVER FAMILY THE WORLD'S GREATEST BIRD DETECTIVE Brian Kirby BrianKirbyStudio.com

When a smooshed cranberry ruins the Carver family’s fine rug & Thanksgiving dinner, famed sleuth DETECTIVE TURKEY of Scotland Farmyard is summoned. His keen mind & refined taste unravel their recipe’s miscalculations, and a more sinister crime is revealed! #BluePit 📖 #pb #os BrianKirbyStudio.com

That he is! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

Grumpy crocodile illustration, rainforest illustration

Crocodile Ryle was the grump of the swamp. He thought having a friend was the worst. Yuck! He ate everyone around him, until animals had enough and left. Alone, he cried. That’s when he met a butterfly who melted his heart. Inspired by real rainforest facts. #bluepit #PB #F #Q #ND #bluepithype
