Plumber Pearl! -- Andrea Zimmerman, Board Book

Clang, clang, clang! Grrrriind! When the pipes spring a leak, Plumber Pearl arrives to save the day! From the best-selling author and illustrator team of Trashy Town, comes a Big Jobs, Bold Women board book perfect for toddlers.

Plumber Pearl just got a call.
"Our building has a waterfall!"
SSSShhhhhhh!

Plumber Pearl comes in to fix their overflowing sinks, toilets, bathtubs, and pipes one floor at a time! Each floor has a problem that needs to be solved with her skills and tools. But where is this waterfall coming from?! Plumber Pearl is determined to find out with the help of squeaky mice and fun onomatopoeia on the way. The CHUG-A-GLUG of the pump and TWEEEEEAK of the wrench will have toddlers giggling.

This is the third board book in the Big Jobs, Bold Women series that introduces toddlers to strong women in tough hands-on jobs. Plumber Pearl makes this empowering message accessible in a new durable format that is the perfect size for an energetic toddler.

With dynamic artwork from Dan Yaccarino, Nickelodeon character designer for The Backyardigans, and energetic verse from Andrea Zimmerman, best-selling author of Trashy Town, Plumber Pearl! is the perfect read for tool-obsessed kids.

Don't miss out on the Firefighter Flo! and Crane Jane! board books too!
