Things That are Most in the World is another fun book that we discovered. Written by the author of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and it's sequel, Pickles to Pittsburgh, this book shows the silly side of the "-est" ending to words. What is the quietest thing in the world? Why, a worm chewing on peanut butter! The stickiest? A 400,000-pound wad of bubble gum. With clever illustrations to showcase these "-est" extremes, my girls giggle their way through this book everytime they read it.

This was pretty good. Cute idea, and funny examples. Some of the pictures are a bit gross (a baby flea being pushed in a carriage on a zoomed-in skin surface with big giant hairs all around), but I could imagine kids being into it. The last page invites kids to make up their own stories and illustrations which I like.

Had to read this again because I could not remember it from 2012. I still like how absurd it is - why is an ant windsurfing in a bowl of pea soup? Who knows?! The more bizarre the book, the more I like it - for me and for kids.
