Oops! That's Not My Home!

Reach for this book when your child is in a goofy mood and needs a high energy outlet for their growing sense of logic. It is the perfect choice for those 'active' storytimes where sitting still is difficult, as it invites the reader to shout out corrections and engage with the absurd imagery of sea creatures in human environments. By placing a pufferfish in a balloon shop or a crab in a shoe, the story uses cognitive dissonance to make toddlers feel like the 'experts.' This book is a delightful tool for building confidence and critical thinking through humor. The rhyming structure provides a comforting rhythm, while the standalone scenes offer immediate gratification without the need for a complex narrative arc. It is specifically designed for the 1 to 4 age range, supporting early vocabulary development and the joyful realization that things are not always where they belong.
