Description

This book is full of laugh-out-loud animal misadventures.

Quick Summary

If your kid can't get enough of silly, over-the-top stories about animals getting into trouble, this is right up their alley. Zullo has put together a collection of real-life pet disasters that are equal parts hilarious and jaw-dropping you'll find yourself saying "no way!" more than once. It's perfect for kids who love gross-out humor and anyone who thinks their own pet is a handful. The stories are short and punchy, so reluctant readers can power through without feeling intimidated, but they're entertaining enough for stronger readers too. Parents will appreciate that while the book is definitely goofy and lighthearted, some stories do involve pets getting into genuinely dangerous situations (like eating weird things or escaping), which can actually be a good conversation starter about pet safety. Think of it as the animal version of "Ripley's Believe It or Not" meets a comedy sketch perfect for road trips, waiting rooms, or just picking it up when you need a quick laugh.
