How about the time you asked your best friend to give you a haircut?

Or, when you went roller-skating with your dog (who was just kicked out of obedience school)?

Talented newcomer Laura Huliska-Beith has put all her ideas into one book: The Book of Bad Ideas -- a collection of laugh-out-loud scenes guaranteed to have readers eagerly recounting their own bad ideas.

There are 32 pages in this book. This is a picture book. A picture book uses pictures and text to tell the story. The number of words varies from zero ('wordless') to around 1k over 32 pages. Picture books are typically aimed at young readers (age 3-6) but can also be aimed at older children (7+). This book was published 2000 by Little, Brown & Company .

Laura Huliska-Beith is the illustrator of The Goodnight Train (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), 10 Little Ladybugs (Dalmatian), The Recess Queen (Scholastic), and dozens of other children's books. She lives with her husband and three dogs in Kansas City, MO.
