Explore a world where taking a porcupine on the subway or a shark to the dentist leads to uproarious chaos. This whimsical journey reveals the absurdity of mixing animals with everyday human activities. Will you dare to take a giraffe to the movies or a goat to the library? Each page promises laughter and unexpected surprises as you navigate these wild and wacky scenarios. Dive into a delightful exploration of what not to do with animals in this imaginative and humorous tale.
From the publisher
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.
