Books like The Story of the Little Mole Who Went in Search of Whodunit
By Werner Holzwarth
For the kid who thinks bathroom jokes are the height of comedy, this is the book that finally takes their side. Gleefully gross, deadpan, and completely unbothered by good manners.
A hungry frog and a clever fly face off in six short comic-style chapters, with frog always seeming to win — until fly gets the last word.
A cat gets a cupcake and asks for sprinkles to go with it, setting off a chain of requests and small messes that just keeps looping back on itself.
An alphabet parade of animals acts out each letter with a matching verb — an aardvark admiring, beavers ballooning, cats cleaning — all the way to a zigzagging zebra.
A gardener finally grows the vegetable patch of his dreams, but three hungry bunnies keep sneaking in every night — so he builds fence after fence to outsmart them.
A sound-making wonder named Mr. Brown moos like a cow, hoos like an owl, buzzes like a bee, and even chews gum like a grum-grumming hippo, daring readers to make every noise right along with him.
A boy welcomes a hungry moose with a muffin, but one muffin leads to jam, then a trip to the store for more mix, spinning into one favor after another.
A boy named Floyd gets his kite stuck in a tree and tries to knock it loose by throwing his shoe — but the shoe gets stuck too, so he keeps throwing bigger and stranger things instead.
A child gets ten minutes to get ready for bed while a growing crowd of hamster tourists pours through the front door for a wild, wordless-countdown tour of the house.
A parade of rhyming oddballs takes readers from near to far and here to there — a bumpy Wump, a singing Ying, a winking Yink who drinks pink ink — with no plot but plenty of silly counting and rhyming along the way.
A restless farm duck decides he's done taking orders and campaigns his way from the barnyard all the way to the presidency, one election at a time.
A paint-happy kid gets banned from painting after covering everything from ceiling to floor, then finds a wildly funny way to keep creating anyway — using every color on hand.
Farmer Brown's cows find a typewriter in the barn and start leaving him notes with demands — and when he refuses, the whole farm goes on strike.
