Never Take a Shark to the Dentist (and Other Things Not to Do)

Author: Judi Barrett
Illustrator: John Nickle
Year: 2008
Reading Level: 4-8

Plot Summary: This book is a series of warnings of things not to do for certain animals. There is no real plot to string it a lot, it's just a series of silly things and that's the only point. One of my favorites was to never give a moth a sweater--I actually had to think for a few seconds about what the problem was.

My Rating:A-. Like I said, the "premise" for this book is completely silly, although I think it might be at least somewhat educational as far as why such and such would be a bad idea. The illustrations are great though, very fun and over the top.
