Never Take A Shark to the Dentist (and other things not to do) is a humorous book about some things that you should just not do. For example: Never take a goat with you to the library. The illustrations are superb and add to the quality of the book with their bright colors and fun details. They also add to the text by describing what could happen if you do take a goat to the library, etc. This book is written by the same author who wrote Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and Animals Should Definitely Not Wear Clothing. Each book is comical, fantastic and a must read!
