Oh No!



Noisy words are the real heroes in this hilarious picture book of chaotic proportions.

What’s that noise?
CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP.
It’s for elephant. He has a special cake.

What’s that noise?
OINK! BUMP! YEURGH!
Oh no! That’s the sound of a dizzy pig in speedos bumping into an elephant holding a cake . . .

Expect the unexpected and enjoy the building chaos with each turn of the page. Warning: LOLs are inevitable.

Praise for Oh No!

Warning! Do not read this book to young children at bedtime, unless you want raucous noise, laughter, high energy and funny antics! Utter chaos will ensue, and very little sleep! . . . It’s silly, funny, full of action and onomatopoeia and guaranteed to be on high rotation for young children.

Bronwyn Joseph, Reading Time

This high-stakes carnival of chaos is set to leave anyone who reads it in a pile of giggles. Yes, even the adults– I know I couldn’t make it to the end without a good chuckle. With a thumping rhythm and dynamic tone, this picture book makes for the perfect, energetic read-aloud. For ages 2+.
