Great message, adorable illustrations

We love this new book by Megan Marie Myers my three-year-old ( who's name is Fox) really loves to find the lurking Fox on every page. The characters are compelling (hello porcupine with a fanny pack) and the story teaches flexibility and curiosity and friendship. This book is exactly what the world needs right now, especially for our tiny little Future Leaders.

Must Read

My son is nearly two, so he isn’t quite at the age where he fully grasps all the context of a story, but he absolutely LOVES this book. He was instantly taken with the beautiful landscapes and the charming characters, especially the fox, who he was excited to find on each page.As his mom, I appreciate that it is more than just a fun read right now - it’s a story that will grow with him. The lessons of kindness, inclusion, and finding beauty in our differences are woven in so naturally, and I know these themes will resonate with him more and more as he gets older.It’s rare to find a children’s book that engages little ones visually while also offering meaningful values they can grow into. This one does both, and I’m grateful to have it in our growing collection.Highly recommend!

Unexpected Adventure with New Friends

What a delightful hiking adventure! I enjoyed the characters, the fun location names, the tagalongs that need saving, and the clever way they all work together to get back home in time for dinner. Wonderful illustrations add to the story. Great read!

The Tagalongs: A Wonderful Adventure with Positive Themes

A wonderful adventure with a positive message for children. Megan is a well-loved local artist in Oregon, and this book is the perfect way for everyone to enjoy her work.This children’s story describes Julia, a girl who prefers to adventure alone, and her discovery that everyone can contribute to a hiking adventure. Every animal that tags along with her trek contributes to the group’s success in their own unique way. The story’s use of alliteration, a few plays on words, and fun sounds makes it great for reading out loud or learning to read. And the art is, as expected, a joy to behold.

We received this book in the mail- and straightaway our toddler was asking for this one on REPEAT! And the quirky characters come up in his imaginative conversations with us often- we love hypothesizing about that Fox!So much fun to have Megan- an incredible illustrator, ALSO writing the creative storyline for this one. This would make a great gift for any young kiddo!
