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!

What reviewers said

"...a fantastically funny picture book...(the) characters will quickly become a staple for teachers and librarians everywhere."
Kirkus Reviews
"Alongside a now-familiar cartoon art style that holds much appeal for early readers, all-dialogue text by Fenske...drives the pace quickly."
Publishers Weekly
"...this triad of cantankerous creatures is absurdly funny, and their grouchy rebuttals to the narrator’s every request strongly echo a familiar push and pull between kids who want to do their own thing and adults who would rather the youngsters get in line."
