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.

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.

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.
