A Potato on a Bike by Elise Gravel

Get ready for the giggles!

This delightful board book will make the little ones in your life laugh 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!

Elise was popular in kindergarten because she could draw princesses with long, spiral locks. Girls encouraged her to draw their fantasy boys in high school, and she developed a skill for drawing biceps and chest hair, which came in useful for this book. Roald Dahl is one of Elise's favorite authors. He piqued her interest in unique individuals and animals, as well as anything strange, unusual, or amusing. The great Antonio, the gentle giant who resided outside the doughnut shop, was well-known and liked in her city of Montreal.

He claimed to be one of the world's strongest men and that his braids could communicate with aliens. Many of Antonio's outlandish stories were proven to be real after his death: he possessed a letter from President Bill Clinton and images of himself with superstars such as Liza Minnelli, Sophia Loren, and Johnny Carson.
