SynopsisFrom 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 !
