Do you ever get so excited that you just want to jump and run everywhere and want to lick... well maybe not lick everyone - but KOZMO does! Join him in his first book adventure with his little humans to the beach - He would love to play with you! Then be sure to join him on his other adventures coming soon!

Kozmo Not! introduces children to a boisterous and lovable dog as he explores his environment. The illustrations provide a playful scene for Kozmo and his reader friends to encounter fun scenarios and engage in critical thinking about each situation. Dialogue from Kozmo is throughout the book to help children understand that animals have personalities, thoughts, and can be full of mischief and silliness -just like them! The upcoming series of adventures will help children establish a literary friend in Kozmo and encourage them to keep reading and exploring their world. Join Kozmo and his little humans on an adventure to the beach! With opportunities for fun at the beach, there are many laughs and lessons to learn. Local book signings will provide Kozmo the opportunity to meet his little human friends in person and provide his very own paw-signature in his book!
