Claydate
A Playdate with the Claymates
Description
Join the claymates for a claydate—a madcap adventure about playing, not perfection—in this rollicking read aloud by the duo behind Claymates!
When two clay friends decide to sculpt a unicorn-dragon and a potato-knight and try to tell an epic story with them, nothing goes quite how they planned. Unicorn-dragon isn’t fearsome at all, and potato-knight keeps getting squished! Can the claymates work together to save their story and remember that a playdate doesn’t have to be perfect to be plenty of fun? Anything can happen in this laugh-out-loud adventure that celebrates friendship, storytelling, and endless creativity.
