Aaron Reynolds has teamed up with Dan Santat to create the hilarious, gnarly summer adventure picture book, Dude! And we can’t wait!

Dude! You have to read this book. It's totally about this platypus and this beaver who are friends. They want to go surfing but dude, there's this shark who's in the ocean, too. But don't worry. This shark approaches and you'll never guess what happens.

Aaron Reynolds is the New York Times–bestselling author of many hilarious books for kids, including Carnivores; Chicks and Salsa; Joey Fly, Private Eye; President Squid, the Caldecott Honor book Creepy Carrots!; Nerdy Birdy; and its follow-up, Nerdy Birdy Tweets.

Dan Santat is the New York Times bestselling author and Caldecott-winning illustrator of The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend, Are We There Yet?, and After the Fall (How Humpty Dumpty Got Back Up Again). His artwork is also featured in numerous picture books, chapter books, and middle grade novels, including Dav Pilkey's Ricky Ricotta series.
