A Potato on a Bike
by Elise Gravel (Author)
This delightful board book will make the little ones in your life giggle at the absurdity of a fly on the phone and a carrot in the tub. The text's repeated asking, "Have you ever seen...?" preceding the refrain "No way!" will have toddlers yelling "No way!" themselves as you read through these silly situations.
Celebrated artist Elise Gravel brings the silly to a new level in A Potato on a Bike, because really, has anyone ever seen a broccoli counting to ten or a sausage reading a book? But wait, how about a...baby being tickled?! Uh-oh, I think the answer for that is--yes way!

Gravel's board book imagines common foods and everyday objects participating in human tasks. In each spread, text on the verso asks an illustrated question, "Down by the Bay" style: "Have you ever seen a carrot taking a bath?" shows the bucktoothed root vegetable soaking in a clawfoot tub. A recurring bright pink phrase on the recto answers: "NO WAY!" Shown in Gravel's signature art style, "Have you ever seen"s include a shiny singing tomato, a reading sausage propped up against a pillow, a fork driving a bright pink car, a toothbrush flying through the sky with wings, and a swirl of poop wearing spectacles ("Without them, I can't see a thing," it says). The simple call and response is made for young readers fond of the absurd, and the list of silly queries all lead up to a concluding "YES WAY!" that highlights the joy of further laughter. Ages up to 2. (Oct.)
