A boy settles in to read, but a parade of noisy animals keeps barging in to spoil the story. Their interruptions turn into a playful escalation, and a clever twist ultimately upends expectations and the book's ending.

Spare, witty text pairs with eye-catching, energetic illustrations to create a read-aloud that invites giggles and participation. The meta-humor encourages young listeners to think about how stories are told and why surprises matter.

Highlights

• Meta-fictional humor that sparks conversation
• Bold, expressive illustrations and visual jokes
