PRAISE FOR NIGHT NIGHT, GROOT
"A title comics aficionados will snap up in order to groom the next generation of fandom―even if they don't have a next generation yet."―Kirkus Reviews
PRAISE FOR SNOW DAY FOR GROOT!
"It’s time to relax once / the battle is done. / A SNOW DAY FOR GROOT / ensures wintery fun!” A kid-sized Groot and his best buddy, Rocket Raccoon, have the Guardians of the Galaxy drop them off on Earth during the first snow of the year in New York City. A scarf-clad Spider-Man takes the duo on a tour of the city’s sights: the New York Public Library, the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, etc. They also go sledding and ride the subway, all with various members of the Marvel Universe looking on or participating in the snow-day activities. But little Rocket rather abruptly feels ignored by Spidey and Groot until Groot notices and changes his three-word catchphrase to “We are Groot…?” Then all is well, and the day ends with skating at Rockefeller Center and some tree trimming. Deneen and Atkinson reteam for this third rhyming Groot episode. Heroes and villains, both well known and obscure, wave from the sidelines or participate in the snowy fun, all conveyed in bright, dynamic cartoon illustrations with occasional dialogue bubbles. Eagle-eyed mini Marvel mavens can hunt for Ant-Man and the Wasp in nearly every illustration.
Enjoyable even for the uninitiated."
―Kirkus ReviewsAbout the Author
Cale Atkinson is an author and illustrator whose titles include Explorers of the Wild, To the Sea, Off & Away, Sir Simon: Super Scarer, and more. When he's not helping the Avengers defend the Earth or adventuring with Rocket and Groot, he can be found with his family in Kelowna, British Columbia.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2021I love these series of Groot books. So far there are 4 in the series but only 2 of them are available in board books for little babies, this one and Night Night Groot. I have both and love them. The colors are bright and contrasting and my 6 month old loves looking at the pages. And once more, because it’s a board book he can touch and slap the pages. The story is rhymes which makes it a good out loud read too. The size of the book is small enough so my son can grip it and hold it at 6 months. He obviously can’t read yet but likes grabbing it. The Night Night Groot book has tiny Ant Mans on each page that you can search for. This First Day of Groot book has Ant Man and the Wasp on each page to find. I’m really happy with these books and hope they make the other two into board books as well.

The story does not disappoint, but I received a damaged book. The last page is cracked down the center almost completely through the page. Sadly I don’t think this book will last long.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another fun Groot story
We are big fans of the detailed fun pics, funny rhymes and story. Enjoyable and makes bedtime a little bit more bearable Its a hardback not boardback contrary to amazon description.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great followup
My little fella loved the first in the series ('Night Night Groot') and has become quite knowledgeable about the various Marvel characters.
I especially love the return of 'Find Ant-Man' now with Wasp included. The book doesnt hint at this added feature in anyway, but in every illustration Ant-Man and Wasp are hidden and you and your little one can try and find them.
Definitely a great buy for the Marvel fan to-be
