Animals take over a luxury hotel for a whimsical vacation adventure.
At the Parker Palm Springs, animals are the guests and staff, creating a whimsical vacation experience. Maurice the monkey concierge and Wally the wallaby desk clerk welcome you. Join Callie the camel and other exotic creatures as they explore tennis courts, sip lemonade, and enjoy the pool. This enchanting picture book invites children to a world where animals rule the hotel, offering a delightful escape into a sunny California getaway. What surprises await in this extraordinary animal-only retreat?
From Gray Malin, New York Times bestselling photographer of Beaches, comes Be Our Guest!, Malin’s first children’s picture book, compiled from his acclaimed series of photographs at the Parker Hotel in Palm Springs. Welcome to the Parker Hotel, where you’ll experience a delightful time away, filled with everything you’d expect from a sunny, California vacation. There’s tennis courts and a lemonade stand, a gorgeous pool, and a lawn for croquet. But, the other guests and staff are more than a little unexpected . . . If Eloise had lived in an animal-only hotel, it would have had the style and whimsy of the Parker. Just reading Be Our Guest! will whisk children away on a temporary holiday, which is nothing less than extraordinary.
