The picture book series about two hilarious melons trying new things, from the bestselling illustrator of I Don't Want to be a Frog. Climb aboard as they learn how to take the bus to school!
Cantaloupe and HoneyDo are taking the bus for the first time. HoneyDo can't wait for the wild ride. "You are thinking of a roller-coaster," Cantaloupe explains, a little nervous. Once they catch the bus (no net needed!), find a place to sit, and decide the gum stuck under the seats is not for snacking, they discover that playing tag while bus-riding is out. But having a thumb war, doing rock-paper-scissors, reading a book together, and making new friends are all in! And there just may be a wild ride awaiting them at their destination after all.
Meet Cantaloupe and HoneyDo. Cantaloupe brings the caution and HoneyDo the confidence. Together, they’re learning what they can’t do, at least not at first, and what they totally can—with a little practice, a little care, and two smart melons. With friends like these, new things are can-do.

Praise for Can Do Books:
"Will have readers contorted in laughter [as they explore] growth mindset, the value of making mistakes, practice, and persevering through challenges with good humor. . . . Boldt has hit comic paydirt with this hilarious read-aloud." —Shool Library Journal (Ride a Bike)
“Mike Boldt has crafted an amazingly fun and entertaining world, featuring two of the most charismatic characters I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. I cannot wait for more Can Do.” —Dan Santat, award-wining author and illustrator of Beekle and A First Time for Everything
"Light and airy as its banter . . . A delectable depiction of a fruitful relationship.” —Kirkus (Ride a Bike)
“Rapid repartee in dialogue balloons drives the cheery shtick [in this story] about the fun of working together. A lip-smacking recipe for productive collaboration.” —Kirkus (Bake a Cake)
“I never thought I’d want to be friends with fruit, but Mike Boldt has changed my mind. These stories are relatable, fun, and full of kid energy. I can’t wait to see what they do next!” —Ryan T. Higgins, author and illustrator of the New York Times bestselling Mother Bruce series
