The combination of Judi Barrett’s humorous DO NOTs and John Nickle’s fantastic illustrations, this book just cracked me up! It is not only a perfect read aloud to suck students in, it is definitely a book that can be used in the classroom. First, each instance has something not to do (Never take a shark to the dentist) with cartoony illustrations, but doesn’t elaborate after that. What would happen? Why wouldn’t you ____? A great cause and effect discussion. These little DO NOTs would also be perfect prompts to get students writing. It can be a prompt for a humorous narrative or for an expository essay about why not do to do these things.

With simple text and fun, bright illustrations, Never Take a Shark to the Dentist would be a fun art project to do with kids: what other things should you not do when fraternizing with animals?

Some humorous illustrations and scenarios. But I’m really struggling to understand the point of this book. Basically focuses on all the negative aspects of various animals and then one that you can exploit for your own benefit?
Nah. Skip this one.

This book is just ok. The illustrations are cute, and it's short enough that it will probably hold a child's attention.

Good advice for what not to do with a variety of animals and insects, and ending with one great piece of advice for something to definitely do.

This book is very funny. It includes all sorts of activities you shouldn't do with certain animals. The illustrations are also comical.
