Description
A zany picture book packed with rhythm, rhyme, and rambunctiousness about the nonsense you might expect if you take your pet rhino on a plane. For fans of Mo Willems's Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus and Aaron Blabey's Piranhas Don't Eat Bananas.
You can take him on a ship,
hail a taxi for the trip,
waltz him gladly to the car or to the train--
but absolutely never
believe it safe or clever
to take your rhinoceros on a plane.
A cautionary tale about the daredevil stunts and embarrassing antics you will face when traveling with your pet rhinoceros. From the security line to the luggage carousel, there is no hope for a relaxing trip or in-flight movie in this hilarious picture book. Young readers will laugh at the silliness and fun illustrations, while their caregivers will recognize the humor and perhaps even relate to the wild ride that ensues.
With expressive, laugh-out-loud illustrations by Isabel Roxas and lyrical writing by K. E. Lewis that pays homage to nonsense poetry, Never Take Your Rhino on a Plane is a perfect read-aloud pick.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"The comically over-the-top illustrations, created with cut paper, oil pastels, and acrylic, will arouse guffaws; the bright blue rhino is quite endearing, and readers will easily forgive him for his naughty behavior. A hilarious flight of fancy." - Kirkus Reviews
"In this playful rhyming book, a young girl discovers just how difficult airplane travel can be when she ignores her own -advice and brings along her jumbo, blue rhino...Cut paper illustrations perfectly capture the hilarious high jinks, and the -expressions on the young girl's face as well as on the rhino's face are ever changing and expressively zany...Children will love the antics of the rhino and parents will recognize and relate to the perils and pitfalls of travel; this makes for a serviceable cautionary lesson on travel." - School Library Journal
