Children's Book of the Week: 7

Okay, this one's a little out there. Not nearly as endearing as this one, and the illustrations aren't even close to as cute as these, but this book makes me and my kids laugh, and so we love it.

Peanut Butter Rhino
by Vincent Andriani

Basically, it's about a rhino who is planning a picnic with his friend, Elephant. He makes two peanut butter sandwiches, and after going outside and taking inventory of his picnic box, he inadvertently sits on one of the sandwiches. He can't find it anywhere, so he enlists his friends to help him find it, all the while we, the readers, see the smashed sandwich every time he turns around. Finally, Elephant says, "Excuse me, Rhino. But why is there a squished peanut butter sandwich on your bottom?" This is where the kids laugh like crazy, because it says "bottom." Hugs abound as Elephant brings out the two sandwiches he made, and they go ahead and picnic.

I hope this installment of Children's Book of the Week hasn't caused you to lose all trust in my taste in kids' books. Sometimes you just need a silly, crazy book to read with your little sillies. And this one is perfect.

Guess what, this book is for sale for $.39 on Amazon, right here.

I now turn the time over to my Guest Blogger, Neal!
