What to Do If an Elephant Stands on Your Foot
Author(s): Michelle Robinson
A witty jungle romp for the adventurer in every kid
Safari etiquette can be tricky. Fortunately, our trusty narrator can help. Sort of. From what to do if an elephant stands on your foot ("Keep calm. Panicking will only startle it!") to how to escape the attentions of a crocodile ("Well? What are you waiting for? Wave your arms around and shout for help!"), our plucky guide leads our unlucky hero on a jungle adventure, barely avoiding tigers, a rhino, snakes, and--uh-oh. What's that? Well thank heavens the monkeys are friendly at least!
Debut author Michelle Robinson teams with bestseller Peter H. Reynolds for a "Monster at the End of This Book"-style romp, culminating in a hilarious finish that will send readers--and our hapless hero--right back to the beginning for more.
Product Information
"Like an edgier version of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, this faux guide to the jungle offers advice for Indiana Jones wannabes....Reynolds's digital illustrations are even more rambunctious and action-driven than his work in 2011's Huck Runs Amuck! and he's especially clever at playing the reactions of the hapless hero for laughs -- and there are plenty of them."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Michelle Robinson lives in Bristol, England. Peter H. Reynolds lives in Dedham, Massachusetts (the home of his family's bookstore, The Blue Bunny). Peter is the illustrator of "Someday, Little Boy," and many other beloved picture books.
