Mandy's Pet Shop: A Pet Shop for Monsters

Decker wanted a pet. The pet shop had other ideas. Mandy's Pet Shop: A Pet Shop for Monsters—a rhyming picture book from Zack Shada (the original voice of Finn in the Adventure Time pilot) and D.C. Cody, with art by Nathan Monção.

Decker walked into Mandy's Pet Shop expecting cats and dogs. He didn't expect monsters. A rhyming picture book about discovering the perfect pet—even if the perfect pet has fangs, fur, six eyes, and a personality nobody warned you about. Mandy's shop is full of creatures the world calls scary, and Decker is about to learn what every great pet owner knows: the best friends are the ones you don't judge by appearance.

Built for read-aloud—bouncy rhymes, big silly monsters, and a warm message about acceptance for ages 3-5. The first book in the Mandy's Pet Shop series, arriving on the RippaSend Backyard imprint, the kids' corner of Rippaverse Publishing's creator-partner line. A natural pick for monster-loving kids, Halloween story-time stacks, and bedtime rotations year-round—and a story that gives every kid who loves the weird ones permission to keep loving them.

Co-written by Zack Shada—the original voice of Finn (then “Pen”) in the Adventure Time pilot—and D.C. Cody, with art by Nathan Monção. 28 pages.
