Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
What would happen if your moose wanted to go to the movies? What if your rhino begged to go dancing? What if your pig pleaded to shop? Say 'No!' Because, as the unsuspecting pet owner in this book learns, taking peculiar pets to people places can lead to pandemonium!
Karin Ireland's hilarious verse and David Catrow's wacky visuals just might convince you that sometimes it's best to leave your creatures at home.

A fun book for readers that are a bit older. My 4 and 5 year old enjoy the story, but don't get the humour regarding each animal. I think this is great for very first grade and up. When I read this at elementary school story time, it gets the best reaction from the very first and second graders.

This is a cute book conceptually and the poetry reminds me very much of Shel Silverstein - at least as far as the cadence and some of the rhyme goes.
The humour is there, but in my experience it is going to be one of those things that your child is going to 'get' or not get depending on where they are developmentally - which means you are going to have to make the judgement call yourself as to whether they would enjoy this book.
With my own two children, I would say that they didn't 'get' most of this book. (They are boy and girl; 4 and 6 y.o. at the moment.) Below is an example of one the rhymes.
If you take your pig out shopping,
Don't take him to the mall.
He'll play in the dirt in the planter outside
And you won't get to shop at all.
Three Stars. [C+]. Cute rhymes. Cute concept. Artwork is so-so. Good read-aloud.

This is a superbly illustrated and cleverly written children's
book for ages 2 to 7! Every page has a "what if" poem about
taking various animals shopping, to the movies, to the beach,
etc. The pictures enhance the story line and make a child
(and adult) anxious for the subsequent page! I bought one book
for my favorite 3 year old and then went back and bought
2 more for my nephews! I hope this author and illustrator
will keep working together to produce more like this book!
