Deep in a forest just north, south, east, or west of where you live, there’s a small, almost-hidden town that might be a lot like yours: Timbertown. Welcome to the first children’s title by acclaimed designer Judson Beaumont, which features his award-winning designs and fantastic pieces as characters who definitely have lives of their own…

Chester O’Drawers Teakson wants a pet, but his parents just don’t think he’s old enough yet. So, Chester has to find a way to prove that he’s ready and responsible. Then along comes Sandy. Is she a kitten? No. Is she a goldfish? Nope. But she does have four legs, a lovely smooth finish, and a whole lot of puppy-like energy. Now Chester realizes that maybe — just maybe — his parents were right!

From the magical minds of Judson Beaumont and Joanna Karaplis comes a unique and very funny story about a child’s first pet. Breanna Cheek’s delightful illustrations bring this wonderful and inviting world to life.
