Ohno and His Friends Celebrate New Year's

It's New Year's Eve in Yonder Creek-and Ohno and his friends are determined to stay awake until midnight!

The Community Hall is sparkling with party hats, streamers, games, dancing, delicious snacks, and one very important big clock. Ohno, Pal, Ready, Figure, and Moxie have a whole evening of fun ahead of them before the countdown begins.

Of course, staying awake turns out to be a little harder than everyone expected.

Figure has a carefully organized stay-awake plan. Moxie insists she is only "resting her eyes." Ohno worries that he might fall asleep and miss the New Year altogether. And Ready? Ready is absolutely, positively certain he can stay awake all night!

As the clock slowly ticks toward midnight, Pal helps Ohno realize something important: the New Year will arrive whether he worries about it or not. Instead of watching the clock, Ohno decides to enjoy what matters most-the fun he is having with his friends right now.

Then at last, it's time!

TEN! NINE! EIGHT!

The whole town of Yonder Creek counts down together until the clock strikes midnight and the celebration begins!

Ohno and His Friends Celebrate New Year's is a warm, funny, beautifully illustrated holiday adventure about friendship, enjoying the moment, trying new things, and welcoming a brand-new year together.

Young readers will love the silly stay-awake antics, colorful New Year's celebration, interactive party choices, Find-It activity, adventure map, and plenty of classic Ohno-and-friends humor.

And when Ready announces that he's ready to stay up ALL NIGHT, everyone knows exactly what is coming next!

Perfect for preschoolers and young children ages 3-5, this festive Yonder Creek adventure makes a wonderful New Year's Eve read-aloud for families, classrooms, libraries, and bedtime-although Ready might not make it that far.

A new year. New adventures. Same great friends.

Because in Yonder Creek, every adventure is better together.
