Bookroo's summary

In a whimsical tale, a unicorn, dinosaur, and shark enter a book, only to challenge the narrator's attempts to tell their story.

This playful story promises laughter and surprises, perfect for young readers who love unexpected twists.

From the publisher

From the comedic mind of Jonathan Fenske, Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor-winning creator of A Pig, a Fox, and a Box, comes a hilarious picture book about what happens when a unicorn, a dinosaur, and a shark “walk” into a book. Fenske’s appealing illustration style and clever text make this intriguing book a must-have for every young reader’s shelf. Absurdity abounds in this funny picture book that tries to tell the tale of a unicorn, a dinosaur, and a shark. While the narrator insists that the characters are in the best book ever, they are all less than impressed, and won’t cooperate with the storyteller’s cues. Can the narrator find a way to convince them to stick around, or will the creatures choose to skedaddle off the page? Perfect for fans of The Book with No Pictures and Kevin the Unicorn: It’s Not All Rainbows!
