Book 4 · Soleo and Maxo · Ages 3-8
Be Careful Before Crossing the Street
A Soleo and Maxo picture book about Stop, Look, Listen
Soleo sees a tumbleweed and zooms off after it. The street? Not on his radar. Maxo’s yelling, a green car is coming, and everyone’s day just got louder. A funny, gentle story that makes street safety stick without a single lecture.
Uh-oh, Soleo!
VROOOM!The story in one breath
Cute chaos
Soleo keeps a tiny gas station spotless, chats with an ant named Roger and chases tumbleweeds. Then Maxo shows up and the road gets very real, very fast.
The one rule: Stop. Look. Listen.
Look both ways. Every time. Even when the tumbleweed is really, really fun.
What could possibly go wrong in an empty desert?
SOLEO! WATCH OUT!
VROOOOM!
