When the narrator gets it wrong

A picture-book narrator confidently mixes up familiar sounds and actions: bicycles, firefighters, and even flowers enter a world of comic mislabeling. Other characters step in to correct the mistakes, making the gap between what the narrator says and what readers know the source of the humor. The premise invites children to notice errors and call them out as the story unfolds, with bright, bold illustrations accompanying the joke-driven text. Drew Daywalt builds the book around playful contradiction rather than a conventional adventure, turning everyday details into chances for shared laughter.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy humorous picture books
  • Families looking for a read-aloud built around silly mistakes and corrections
  • Young readers who like noticing and correcting absurd details

Book overview

What if the narrator of the book you're reading is just...WRONG?! This hilarious book from the author of The Day the Crayons Quit will have you correcting what you're reading--and laughing!

Do bicycles say cock-a-doodle-doo? Do firefighters shout Ding Dong! before they put out a fire?

That's what the narrator of this hilarious picture book thinks! Good thing there are some other characters in this book to set him straight...

With bright bold illustrations, this laugh-out-loud funny story, written by the author of The Day the Crayons Quit, is sure to give kids--and grown-ups--a serious case of the giggles.

Because a flower goes chugga-chugga-choo-choo. Right? Right?
