Step into the great outdoors with Attitude McMaditude! Attitude McMaditude doesn't like anything about being outside. Grass is too straight, clouds are too fluffy, birds are too noisy and frogs are too green!
He'd rather sit inside with his digital devices, playing on the computer or with his gaming console, laptop and phone at the same time. But one day, his mom gives him a push-literally—out the door, and Attitude begins an adventure he never expected. From fluffy clouds that turn into dragons to frogs that leap into sparkling ponds, Attitude discovers the magic of Mother Nature. By the end of his journey, he has a new name and a new outlook: Attitude McGladitude.
This heartwarming story inspires readers to step outside and find their own adventure in the world around them. Discover the beauty, magic, and surprises of nature—-just waiting for you!
