Twelve Terrible Things

Written and Illustrated by Marty Kelley

"I'm warning you. If you turn the page, you are going to see some terrible things. Some really terrible things. This book is full of them. Didn't you read the title? Just about everything in this book is terrible. You're probably going to turn the page, anyway, aren't you? Okay. Go ahead. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED."

This warning before the book ever begins sets you up for this hilarious picture book where the pictures definitely make the story.

Ideas and Activities:

Have students create their own terrible things book (great one to do for a class book).
