For 50 years, I’ve been listening to my husband’s stories about growing up on San Diego’s Mission Bay when it was more of a small fishing village than the popular resort it is now...

Publisher Comments

Itandrsquo;s time to go bananas!

A determined monkey spies a banana tree across the water. What happens next is an inventive romp, as the resourceful monkey attempts to grab a snack, with some hilarious consequences.

Full of energy, surprise, and strong visual storytelling, this practically wordless picture book will entice even the most reluctant reader. The Monkey Goes Bananas is fast-paced, delicious fun thatandrsquo;s sure to leave young readers hungry for another read.

Praise for The Monkey Goes Bananas

andquot;This predominantly wordless picture book delivers a substantial helping of slapstick.andquot;

--Kirkus Reviews

andquot;There is a slapstick element to the humor (the monkey is flung around with some regularity), which will resonate with readers as they turn each page to see what the monkey will try next. Throw in an opportunistic shark with an empty belly, and the pieces are in place for a laugh-out-loud story that should earn plenty of repeat readings.andquot;

--Booklist

andquot;Kids will jump right into this rip-roaring flip bookandndash;paced tale.andquot;

--School Library Journal

Review

"Lichtenheld's snarling shark and grimacing train are definitely ready for a fight, and his scenarios gleefully play up the absurdity. The combatants' expressions are priceless when they lose. A glum train in smoky dejection, or a bewildered, crestfallen shark? It's hard to choose; both are winners." Kirkus, starred review

Synopsis

Shark VS. Train WHO WILL WIN?

In this hilarious and wacky picture book, Shark and Train egg each other on for one competition after another, including burping, bowling, Ping Pong, piano playing, pie eating, and many more Who do YOU think will win, Shark or Train?

Synopsis

In this imaginative picture book, Shark and Train face off in one competition after another, including a burping contest, bowling, Ping Pong, piano playing, and more. Full color.

Synopsis

Could two little boys who scare each other silly ever become friends?

When Alik and Boi accidentally bump into each other at the pond, they arent exactly thrilled. In fact, theyre terrified! Boi thinks Alik is a swamp monster, and Alik thinks Boi is a space alien. Both run home in a panic to share their news, but their families dont believe them. If only Alik and Boi can drum up the courage to venture back outside, they just might cross paths again and realize how much they have in common.

With an encouraging message about second chances and looking past appearances, this delightfully absurd story about two very different-looking adventurers is full of laugh-out-loud, action-packed fun. Its perfect for fans of funny books like Shark vs. Train and Children Make Terrible Pets.

There's Batman vs. Riddler. There's Richard Nixon vs. John F. Kennedy. There's the Dallas Cowboys vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers. But there's nothing like Shark vs. Train.
