Books like Robo-Sauce
By Adam Rubin
For the kid who'd trade bath time for rocket feet in a heartbeat, this one turns that daydream into an actual recipe. Silly, irreverent, gleefully over-the-top.
A young girl visits her eccentric grandfather, where nothing is normal — tea comes in flower pots, and cleaning the house means mowing the rug.
While the Petersons are away, their house decides it deserves a vacation too — but its rooms can't agree on a destination until the sunporch votes for the beach and leads the way.
A child imagines an entire day as a horse — galloping through familiar settings, wondering if they'd fit in their clothes, and whether a little sister would get a ride.
A girl surrounded by books she hates tries to rescue her cat Max from a towering, wobbling stack — and when the books crash down, characters spill right out into her room.
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 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.
A boy imagines a very special house — one built entirely from his own head — where a turtle, a dead mouse, and an old lion can all move in, and nobody ever says stop.
A horribly hideous ogre leaves his swampy home to seek adventure, crossing paths with a witch, a knight, and a dragon on his quest to find an equally ugly princess to marry.
Two kids stuck inside on a rainy day get an uninvited visitor — a tall cat in a striped hat who promises fun and games while their mother is away.
A little red chicken just can't sit still through bedtime stories, jumping into Hansel and Gretel and Little Red Riding Hood to save the characters herself, much to her patient papa's dismay.
A squirrel named Mr. Peanuts lives a surprisingly human life — playing piano, reading books — and writes to invite his cousin over, hoping for company.
