NEVER TAKE YOUR RHINO ON A PLANE, by K.E. Lewis and Isabel Roxas, Clarion Books, Hardcover, $19.99 (ages 4-8)
The next time you plan a trip, take some advice from author K.E. Lewis and illustrator Isabel Roxas in Never Take Your Rhino on a Plane.
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 picture book. —Synopsis provided by Clarion Books
Never Take Your Rhino on a Plane is a silly, rhythmic read that will have kids laughing out loud at the absurdity. Each turn of the page brings more chaos and more laughs. Artist Isabel Roxas’ cut-paper technique gives the illustrations a 3D effect. These emotion-filled images bring the adventure to life.
