I'll Try a Bite! (Library Edition)

Mission Milestone picture books help kids face first experiences with confidence by turning everyday milestones into fun, rewarding adventures. Children will boldly grow alongside Ollie the panda and his alien friend Sid, who lead the way together and earn Star Scout badges for every accomplishment.

In this mission, Sid and Ollie try something new to eat!

Ollie and Sid want to earn their Brave Eater badges, but it’s harder than they thought. Sometimes trying a new food can be hard, but Ollie and Sid are brave and curious. They’re going to do their best to complete this mission!

Packed with adorable illustrations, I’ll Try a Bite! is the perfect confidence-building picture book for ages three to seven. Ideal for read-aloud story time, preschool and kindergarten classrooms, or preparing kids at home for their own doctor’s visits.

Join Ollie and Sid on more Star Scout missions to help kids navigate early life experiences—because every new milestone is an adventure waiting to happen.
