The Wrong Book

Illustrated by Alex Willmore
What if the narrator of the book you're reading is just...WRONG?! This hilarious book from the author of The Day the Crayons Quit will have you correcting what you're reading—and laughing!

Do bicycles say cock-a-doodle-doo? Do firefighters shout Ding Dong! before they put out a fire?

That’s what the narrator of this hilarious picture book thinks! Good thing there are some other characters in this book to set him straight…

With bright bold illustrations, this laugh-out-loud funny story, written by the author of The Day the Crayons Quit, is sure to give kids—and grown-ups—a serious case of the giggles. 

Because a flower goes chugga-chugga-choo-choo. Right? Right?
