From the bestselling duo behind Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs comes the long-awaited “funny follow-up” (School Library Journal) to Animals Should Definitely Not Wear Clothing, which shows us a hilarious new group of animals that shouldn’t, ever-ever-ever, dress like humans.Everyone knows that snakes and billy goats and walruses should definitely not wear clothing, but there are actually lots more animals that should definitely not wear clothing… Because a frog might jump out of it, Because a crab might tear it up, And because a penguin is already formally dressed! Judi and Ron Barrett, the team behind the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs series, remind us once again why animals are better off just the way they are.

The tiny town of Chewandswallow was very much like any other tiny town except for its weather which came three times a day, at breakfast, lunch and dinner. But it never rained rain and it never snowed snow and it never blew just wind. It rained things like soup and juice. It snowed things like mashed potatoes. And sometimes the wind blew in storms of hamburgers. Life for the townspeople was delicious until the weather took a turn for the worse. The food got larger and larger and so did the portions. Something has to be done in Chewandswallow...and in a hurry.

From the bestselling creators of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs comes a clever and silly board book that presents a unique view on perspective. Look What I See is an inventive story that showcases the world as only Judi and Ron Barrett can see it. A study on perspective, each page asks readers what they might see in different situations—like with your eyes half shut, or upside down, or riding on a bumpy road, or looking through a magnifying glass—followed by a brilliantly illustrated answer. The up-close and personal point of view is sure to have readers giggling and trying out each position to see how their world looks from a new perspective.
