Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
There are many things you should never, ever, ever do.


Like sit subsequent to a porcupine on the subway (ouch!). Or hold hands with a lobster (double ouch!). Or take a shark to the dentist (triple ouch!).

Bestselling author JUDI BARRETT and imaginative illustrator JOHN NICKLE give us a raucous look at the perils of taking giraffes to the movies, goats to the library, and pigs out to lunch...and other such silly stuff.



Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - joesgirl
pros: the book encourages imagination and has great illustrations. Cons: Kids hear enough about what they shouldn't do.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Great pictures, great fun
True, it's the moms who lunge for this book on display. "Oh, here's a funny one." Sometimes they even beg, "Yes, see, look, let's read this story." Is it pathetic to see parents beg for their favorite story? Naaah, they should be able to have some fun. And Never Take a Shark to the Dentist is definitely it.



Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - an then what?
As the title suggests it is a book about things you are not suppose to do. The idea is appealing (in principle) and the title is attractive. however the set of examples are strange and are hard to grasp by the relevant ages (which I assume is between 1-4 years old if we consider that we have about a sentence per page). At this age range some kids did not make it (yet) to the bank. My son who is fascinated by sharks (one reason I bought this book...) was completely poker faced during the whole reading. Nice illustrations but not really talking to kids. I'll go back to Seuss and check if I missed one his books instead. Not recommended.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Never Take a Shark to the Dentist and Other Things Not to Do
As a grandmother and former teacher, I am always looking for new and clever children's books! This one is simply wonderful! So engaging and so clever! The illustrations enhance the wonderful and creative theme! BRAVO! Certainly a book I have earmarked for future gifts. My grandchildren adore it!



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - My Grandchildren Loved This
So now if you ask my almost four year old twin grandsons if they should take a shark to the dentist, they shriek with laughter and say no. They loved this book and now want to read it all the time.
