Once Upon a Pickup Time

Imaginative Ben is always last to get picked up from kindergarten, until one day he invents a fantastical tale about why his dad can't come sooner, and all the other children want to stay behind to listen.

Ben hates being the last to get picked up from kindergarten. Every single day.

Then one pick-up time, Ben comes up with a terrifically tall tale about why his dad can't collect him sooner: because he's busy ruling over a huge kingdom, of course -- full of treasure, snake-monsters, knights and robbers. Soon all the children want to stay later at pick-up time to hear Ben's fantastic tale.

Full of fun, relatable moments and a diverse cast of characters, this energetic and contemporary story will strike a chord with many busy families.
