Drax and his Dinoscreen
Think of it as a playbook for turning “can’t tear away from the screen” into “can’t wait to go outside.”
Who said dinosaurs and screens can’t mix? Well, guess what, they do now! Rebecca Hunt’s latest children’s book, Drax and His Dinoscreen, rolls out a tale where the Jurassic meets the digital in the coolest way possible.
In this quirky story, Drax, our dino hero, juggles life between his beloved RockDinoScreen and the real world, which, spoiler alert, isn’t just about tapping on screens. Young readers will trail along as Drax discovers that there’s more to life than games. A dusty attic and a busted game lead him on an adventure that screams fun (and maybe a little chaos).
So, what’s the fuss about? It’s simple. Drax gets hooked on his screen. It’s all games, all day. But, oops! The screen blacks out. Classic, right? But here comes the twist. With his tech down, Drax stumbles upon forgotten treasures in the attic, sparking curiosity beyond pixels.
Here’s the kicker-without even trying, Drax switches from screen time to green time. Outdoors becomes the new arena, and let’s just say, the fun levels up. Now, instead of solo gaming sessions, it’s about shared adventures. Drax and his pals, from Rex to Spark, show what hanging out really looks like.
Parents and teachers, this one’s a gem for sparking conversations about screen time without the eye rolls. And kids, you’ll dig it because, well, dinosaurs! Who can resist?
As for where to grab a copy, hit up the usual suspects-bookstores and online platforms. Teachers, there are nuggets here for classroom fun, too.
A charming, rhyming children’s picture book about Scoot, an underwater spider navigating school life. Designed for kids ages 4–11, this heartwarming story teaches essential social skills, empathy, and the importance of personal space boundaries.
Meet Scoot, an adventurous underwater spider who is already breaking the rules just by going to school! In Don’t Pop My Bubble! by Rebecca Hunt, young readers dive into a colorful underwater world to learn about personal space, empathy, and social boundaries.
Unlike other spiders, Scoot breathes using a fragile air sack surrounding his back. While it keeps him safe underwater, school can be overwhelming with crowded hallways, busy gyms, and high-fives. When an accidental collision in art class causes his air bubble to shrink, Scoot faces a big choice: leave school or speak up for himself. With the help of his friends and teachers, Scoot teaches classrooms everywhere that personal space isn’t just about rules—it’s about respect and inclusion.

Sharks Aren't Scary!
A delightful, rhyming children’s book (ages 5–10) that flips the script on ocean fears, teaching empathy, marine conservation, and wildlife respect through the eyes of the sharks themselves.
What if the ocean’s most misunderstood creatures had a chance to tell their own side of the story?
Written and illustrated for curious young readers, Sharks Aren’t Scary! by international educator and author Rebecca Hunt breaks down common marine fears with humor, warmth, and vibrant artwork. Moving past dramatic movie tropes and sharp teeth, this 35-page picture book introduces children to a friendly cast of ocean dwellers—including great white sharks, hammerheads, tiger sharks, and whale sharks—each sharing how they view the world.
Designed to engage young minds ages 5 to 10, the book gently introduces important real-world topics like ocean ecosystems, wildlife protection, and shark conservation/finning without ever losing its lighthearted, narrative charm. It is an ideal resource for parents, teachers, and librarians looking to inspire curiosity, compassion, and a lifelong love of nature.
