Goofy fun

This read-aloud book has wacky, detailed illustrations that are certain to bring on the giggles. Kids will eat it up.

Each two-page spread has, on the left, straightforward advice on what not to do. On the right is a full-color illustration showing why the advice is good. For example, "Never go to the bank with a raccoon" is accompanied by an illustration of a crowded bank with everybody but the raccoon holding up their hands. All the bank patrons are looking on with horror at the little innocent raccoon, who of course looks like a robber with his black face mask.

Other spreads warn against sitting next to a porcupine on the subway, shoe shopping with a centipede, knitting a hat for a moose, inviting an ant to a picnic, taking a giraffe to the movies and more. The illustration of the giraffe in the movie theater is a foldout that shows the giraffe's long neck extending up and through the roof.

Much of the charm is in the details. In the giraffe illustration, the giraffe isn't only blocking everyone behind him with his neck, he is also slurping on a very, very long straw that is made up of normal-length straws slid together. In the centipede illustration, the bug is holding a tiny Visa card with her front foot.

Another reason the book will make you smile is that everyone in it is an animal, but doing human activities. Rabbits fill the movie theater, eating popcorn and drinking soda, watching two rabbits kiss on the big screen. Everyday scenes on a subway, in a cafeteria or in a mall are populated with animals acting and dressing like normal people.

It's all very silly, and sure to be a favorite at bedtime.

My Grandchildren Loved This

So now if you ask my almost four year old twin grandsons if they should take a shark to the dentist, they shriek with laughter and say no. They loved this book and now want to read it all the time.

Never Take a Shark to the Dentist and Other Things Not to Do

As a grandmother and former teacher, I am always looking for new and clever children's books! This one is simply wonderful! So engaging and so clever! The illustrations enhance the wonderful and creative theme! BRAVO! Certainly a book I have earmarked for future gifts. My grandchildren adore it!

There are many things you should never, ever, ever do.

Like sit next to a porcupine on the subway (ouch!). Or hold hands with a lobster (double ouch!). Or take a shark to the dentist (triple ouch!).

Bestselling author JUDI BARRETT and imaginative illustrator JOHN NICKLE give us a raucous look at the perils of taking giraffes to the movies, goats to the library, and pigs out to lunch...and other such silly stuff.
