![If da Vinci Painted a Dinosaur](/sites/default/files/styles/book_cover_mobile_1x/public/book/0884486672.jpg?itok=IDB_RKlw)
If an ordinary hamster drew a dinosaur, it would look nothing like the one Leonardo da Vinci may have created. In fact, few classic works would. Humor, art and art history combine in this very clever, slightly irreverent, but fascinating introduction to art and artists in this companion to If Picasso Painted a Snowman. (opens in a new window)

![Hansel and Gretel](/sites/default/files/styles/book_cover_mobile_1x/public/book/1682630730.jpg?itok=auxECUpy)
Meet Hansel and Gretel again! This, however, is not the typical telling. Here Willow the witch is a kindly good witch who finally has had enough of a rude duo. Strong lines, limited color, and understated text turn the traditional tale into a fresh, funny, and satisfying story. Readers may also enjoy Woollvin’s recasting of Rapunzel (opens in a new window) and Little Red. (opens in a new window)

The hole in the log in the lake holds a frog with a hair on its head, a fly on top of that, with a gnat on the fly. Shared as a call-and-response or as a song (the music is included), readers will appreciate the humor of the oblivious frog and what becomes of it.

Bold illustrations and clever use of typeface combine to tell a humorous tale reminiscent of a folktale.

Little Red Chicken tells his father about what he learned in school; unexpected occurrences in stories or “the Elephant of Surprise”! Of course, when the parent and child read traditional tales, young Red must add that blue elephant of surprise. The pair was introduced in Interrupting Chicken (opens in a new window) but stands alone and is equally funny.
Interrupting Chicken and the Elephant of Surprise

A boy observes an anaconda swallow an assortment of critters, each to catch the one that preceded it.

![Grow Up, David!](/sites/default/files/styles/book_cover_mobile_1x/public/book/1338250973.jpg?itok=chE5IO1h)
David, the naughty but loveable kid from No, David (opens in a new window), again hears those words.
