Books like Duck! Rabbit!
By Amy Krouse Rosenthal
For the kid who argues that they're right even when the evidence is staring them in the face, this book turns that exact standoff into the whole point. Playful, back-and-forth, a little stubborn, endlessly re-readable.
A picture book imagines what would happen if animals wore clothes — a snake loses its clothes, a billy goat eats them, and a walrus stays soggy in a wet suit that never dries.
A hungry house cat slips out into the backyard and stalks twelve different birds one by one, but every single time, the bird flies off and the cat is left with nothing but a mouthful of feathers.
An alphabet journey where each letter unfolds into a densely packed illustration, from Armored Armadillos Avoiding an Angry Alligator to Horrible Hairy Hogs Hurrying Homewards, hiding dozens of matching objects to hunt for.
A boastful giant squid declares himself the best artist in the ocean, squirting ink everywhere to create his masterpiece — but his fellow fish may not share his enthusiasm.
A worm records his everyday life in diary entries — playing with friends, going to school, and never having to take a bath — while figuring out the ups and downs of being small in a very big world.
A little girl wakes up one Thursday with a full set of antlers growing out of her head, and while the doctor and school principal panic, the cook and kitchen maid find surprising uses for them.
The messiest monster in Booville and her fussiest, cleanest neighbor argue constantly — until Harry Beastie's wild Halloween party throws these two feuding creatures together.

A girl and her mummy are just sitting down to tea when the doorbell rings, and a big furry, stripy tiger walks in and eats and drinks everything in the house.
A boy who loves animals introduces his fifteen pets one by one — and names almost every single one of them Bob, except for one very formally named turtle.
A gallery of real animals shown at their true size — a two-foot tongue, an eye bigger than your head — turning astonishing facts into something you can see with your own eyes.
