Hilarious and weird submitted by willow on August 11, 2015, 2:46pm Who has a pet glacier? Where would someone even come up with this idea? I don't know, but this book is hilarious, and I absolutely adore the illustrations by Giselle Potter.

delightfully absurd submitted by h.parsamehr on June 25, 2020, 9:06pm This book is not for those who want a quaint, traditional story. This picture book is outlandish, and I love it. It's one of the few books I enjoy rereading for my daughter.
