Snickerlings!
The Buzzbury Rainbow Cup
Milo is the only kid in Buzzbury Village without a Snickerling — until he meets an electric hamster who's allergic to flowers. A big tournament, a rival with ice-cream hair, robots that slurp up Snickerlings, and one Terrible Dragon who is actually gravel.

In Buzzbury Village, every kid has a Snickerling. A Snickerling is a tiny, totally bonkers creature from the valley. There are water Snickerlings, fire Snickerlings, wind Snickerlings — and a few kinds you'd better not ask about.
Every kid, that is, except Milo.
"The Rainbow Cup starts next week!" said Maya. Her Snickerling, Drizzlepuff, a soft purple cloud, nodded so hard that... it started to rain. Right on Milo's head.
"Sorry," said Maya. "He always drizzles when he's happy."
Milo wiped the rain off his nose and thought: I want a Snickerling too. Even one that rains on me.
How the music works
Every few pages, the story pauses for a music moment that fits the scene: a lullaby, a chase, a spooky tune, a victory march. Your child plays a short piece on their own instrument (piano or keyboard, guitar, ukulele, recorder, harmonica, tongue drum, drums or darbuka) at exactly their level, rates how it went, and the next pieces adjust. Snickerlings! has 8 music moments across 20 pages.
