Naughty Parents

**Discover the delightful role reversal in Joy Gosney's enchanting picture book, *Naughty Parents*!** Is your little one tired of being told what to do? Imagine a world where *parents* are the ones who need a little guidance... and a *lot* of supervision! In this captivating story, a resourceful little girl finds herself in charge of her exceptionally mischievous parents. They splash in puddles, devour ice cream with reckless abandon (leaving sticky trails everywhere!), and cause chaos on the swings. They're every bit as challenging to manage as any toddler perhaps even more so! *Naughty Parents* turns the tables on the typical parent-child dynamic, offering a hilarious and heartwarming exploration of responsibility, patience, and the unconditional love that binds families together. Gosney masterfully creates a scenario that will resonate with children who have ever felt exasperated by their parents' antics (or secretly enjoyed them!). But the story takes an unexpected turn when the unthinkable happens: these delightfully disobedient parents wander off and get *lost*!
