Overview

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. You can take him on a ship, 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. Young readers will laugh at the silliness and fun illustrations, while their caregivers will recognize the humor and perhaps even relate to the wild ride that ensues. 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.

""The comically over-the-top illustrations, created with cut paper, oil pastels, and acrylic, will arouse guffaws; the bright blue rhino is quite endearing, and readers will easily forgive him for his naughty behavior. A hilarious flight of fancy."" — Kirkus Reviews The highs of unruly behavior meet the lows of air travel in this tale starring a rambunctious but undeniably adorable blue rhino and a harried kid, portrayed with brown skin, who ignores the book’s titular admonition...It’s a new perspective on travel mishaps for readers of any age: rhino-level chaos or no, sweet moments can make for a memorable time. — Publishers Weekly
