Interrupting Chicken
by David Ezra Stein
Picture book · ages 3–7 · 420L · 2010
The funniest picture book for the 4–6 set — kids beg to read it repeatedly, and the meta-commentary on storytelling structure holds parents' attention too.
Sheep in a jeep
by Nancy E. Shaw
Picture book · ages 3–7 · 420L · 1991
Pure slapstick absurdity—sheep in a jeep careen downhill with predictable, hilarious results; the rhyming text and rollicking pacing make it a read-aloud favorite.
Unsettling Salad!
by Aaron Reynolds
Picture book · ages 3–7 · 420L
Aaron Reynolds doing what he does best—anthropomorphic vegetables in absurd situations with rhythm-driven silliness that lands better read aloud than on the page.
