The world is full of the quietest, silliest, smelliest, wiggliest things you can possibly imagine, and this book is ready to name them all in the most ridiculous ways.
A skating snake, a wind-surfing ant, a pizza-loving dragon, and other wild examples help readers explore superlatives: words that describe the “most” of something. Each page stretches an ordinary idea into an outrageous picture, making language feel playful instead of like a lesson.
With Judi Barrett’s offbeat humor and John Nickle’s energetic illustrations, The Things that are Most in the World is a funny picture book for children who enjoy big words, surprising comparisons, and pictures that get stranger the longer you look.

and Other Things Not to Do
Some advice is too silly to ignore: never sit next to a porcupine on the subway, never hold hands with a lobster, and definitely never take a shark to the dentist.
This funny picture book is built as a list of animal situations that should probably never happen. Each warning becomes more ridiculous than the last, giving readers plenty to laugh about as familiar animals turn up in very unsuitable places. The joke is easy to understand, but the illustrations add extra surprises for careful eyes.
Never Take a Shark to the Dentist is a playful read-aloud for children who enjoy absurd humor, animal mishaps, and imagining exactly why some ideas are best left alone.
