Plant eaters can be so cruel! What's a carnivore to do? The Lion, Great White Shark and Timber Wolf start a club to find a way to make friends with the herbivores. But it's hard to keep friends when they're all so tasty!

It's picture day and the narrator of this charming picture book wants to make sure his picture is PERFECT. It seems as though everything's going wrong for him -- bedhead, a stained shirt, clashing backgrounds, lots of paint and a big scowl. But when he goes up for his picture, he thinks about everything he'd done and he smiles, because he wanted a hideous picture, the worst ever taken! Just as he smiles the photo is snapped and his plan is ruined -- the photo looks great. The text is perfectly paired with the larger-than-life silliness of Dan Santat's illustrations.

In this hilarious picture book from Michael Buckley, a nursery schooler pulls off some daring stunts. He . . . gets dressed by himself! Eats broccoli! Takes a bath! All with awe-inspiring, spine-tingling, heart-racing flare! The over-the-top tone encourages kids to laugh at their fears, while celebrating the bravery it takes to try new things, as kids do every day.
