Lorsqu'il découvre un énorme orignal dans le jardin familial, Luke réveille son papa et sa maman, qui décrètent tout d'abord la chose totalement impossible. Or, lorsque leur fils les entraîne dans la cour, force leur est d'admettre qu'il ne fabule pas! Les parents tentent tour à tour de chasser la bête avec un balai et un tuyau d'arrosage, mais ce sont les soeurs de Luke qui réussissent au final à faire peur à la bête en sortant leurs pistolets à eau et en se faisant passer pour des chasseresses. Le gamin n'a cependant pas dit son dernier mot et s'enfuit dans la forêt avec des carottes en se promettant de faire de l'orignal son animal de compagnie. Une nouvelle aventure loufoque (bien que manquant d'un peu de piment) du savoureux tandem canadien. Le texte, marqué par l'exagération, les onomatopées et les jeux typographiques, est cependant bien servi par des aquarelles débordantes de dynamisme dans lesquelles prennent vie des protagonistes gentiment caricaturés.

So his dad tries to take it out with a big pair of pliers, but no luck. So they call the dentist, who tries to pull it out with his car, but no luck. So Andrew's friend Louis calls the Tooth Fairy. She comes on her motorcycle and tries to pull out the tooth, but no luck. So it's up to Louis -he uses pepper to make Andrew sneeze the tooth all the way across town.

Yeow!" shouts Andrew. "Do something about my loose tooth. It hurts!" Andrew's dad breaks his pliers trying to pull that tooth. Andrew's mother can't yank it out, either.

One of Robert Munsch's most popular titles, now available as a Board Book. When Angela goes to the airport with her father, he gets "lost." As she wanders around looking for him, she sees an empty airplane. Once inside, she presses one button, then another, until the plane takes off. Luckily, one of the buttons is for the control tower. Angela survives the adventure without a scratch. The same can't be said for the plane. With simplified text but all the original illustrations, Angela's Airplane Board Book is a wonderful way to engage very young children in a simple story. The repetitive text makes the story somewhat predictable, thus encouraging children to chime in. Michael Martchenko's funny illustrations and variations in the text colors and positioning make this a visual treat as well as a story-time favorite.
