Do bicycles say cock-a-doodle-doo? Do firefighters shout Ding Dong! before they put out a fire? That’s what the narrator of this hilarious picture book thinks! Good thing there are some other characters in this book to set him straight… With bright bold illustrations, this laugh-out-loud funny story, written by the author of The Day the Crayons Quit, is sure to give kids - and grown-ups - a serious case of the giggles. Because a flower goes chugga-chugga-choo-choo. Right? Right?
Praise for The Wrong Book:
"[T]he book’s resolute silliness, Looney Tunes comic beats, and topsy-turvy perspective make clear that this is a rambunctious read-aloud that’s tailor-made to induce giggle fits." —Publishers Weekly
"Chaotic fun, perfect for read-alouds." —Kirkus Reviews
"[A] lesson to viewers that being right isn’t always as important as having fun." —Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
“Sweet and hilarious . . . [with] zany illustrations [that] contain even more hidden gags. You’ll have a blast reading these aloud to someone just learning about the subversive joy of books.” —Ron Charles,Washington Post
