THE FIX-IT MAN

Fix-it man Joshua James solves even the stinkiest of problems in this clever read aloud.

Meet Joshua James, the fix-it man. If he cannot fix it, no one can! Until . . . CLATTER! CLANG! CRASH! OH NO! When a stinky problem arises, Joshua James takes matters into his own hands with a little help from his younger sister, Sophie. This playful and imaginative story from Susan Hood and Arree Chung is sure to inspire young inventors everywhere.

Perfect for helping young readers learn different problem-solving techniques, The Fix-It Man teaches that some things just cannot be fixed – and that is okay! Susan Hood’s playful rhyming text will have kids (and adults) wanting to read this book over and over, making it perfect for storytime.

Susan Hood is the author of more than 200 children’s books including Leaps and Bounce and Rooting for You (both illustrated by Matthew Cordell); Ada’s Violin: The Story of the Recycled Orchestra of Paraguay (illustrated by Sally Wern Comport); and Mission: Back to School (with art by Mary Lundquist), among many others. She has worked as an editor for Nick Jr., Sesame Street, and Scholastic and when not writing, she enjoys fixing up her old house and sailboats with her husband – the original Fix-It Man!
