I like this one.

Hilarious. I especially liked the use of exponents.

Hoo ha! That made me laugh out loud. Garrulous is on to something with that title.

I would LOVE to see this board book that never was.And I agree, the exponential element is hilarious.

Oh my, those made me laugh outloud in spots, particularly Owl Rabies. Just the title alone got me.

Soooo funny...thank you!

It is fascinating what strikes different people as really, really funny. I love the last entry Phantom Tollbooth 2: E-Z Pass (mostly about gerunds.) Partly because I have escaped from the East Coast, where E-Z Pass revolutionized travelling on I-95, in a gerund sort of way.

Oh my goodness, these are all hilarious. How did you ever decide??

I laugh every single time I read No One Poops But You.

Adrienne: I laugh out loud with No One Poops But You, too.

Anamaria: This is why we had judges. I knew I was in danger of having tied first, second and third place winners plus would be tempted to match up the right prizes with people. As it is, I'm going to have giveaways in the future once my Etsy shop starts up.

Melangell: Thanks so much for judging. As a non-driver at the time, I didn't appreciate E-Z Pass on I-95, but I do remember getting stuck on the George Washington Bridge (or was it the other one?) going from Upstate to NYC in the early days of the Pass.

LSM: I'm so glad you enjoyed these. There are more coming.

Jules: It's a great title. Your Purple Plastic Hearse was much appreciated, too.

I've been watching too many action movies, I guess: I love The Steadfast Tin Soldier II: Judgment Day and Charlotte's Web II: Revenge of the Spider Babies. Of course, you can't go wrong with Owl Rabies. (And hey, Farida, I put up a post linking all of this and showing off your butterfly herder!)

Lol those are great! I'm glad everyone liked Owl Rabies :D

Someone else deserves credit for "Click, Clack, Cluck: Chickens That Tap Dance" though - my dancing chickens entry was "Leap, Pounce, Cha Cha Cha" :P

Schelle: Thanks! That was Elaine's, and I corrected it. Next year, everyone gets ONE entry. :)

Kate: Thanks so much for posting the links!

Owl Rabies and Nobody Poops But You are just too funny.

Graffiti Harry! That is wonderful!

Oh Kate, they're both good. Congrats!

This was such a fun project you and Minh took on. It's had me laughing on a regular basis for weeks now. Thanks for that!

Aaaaaargh! Caught and KILT!!!!!!!!!!!

Elaine... is TOO FUNNY.

I love the cover, too. Funny, funny.

WOOT, Elaine!

Alkelda,

I am proud to be the Second Place Winner in the Unnecessary Children's Book Sequels That Never Were Contest.

Maybe I should write a picture book text for THE VERY HUNGRY LARVA!

Too funny!

"Kilt" is awesome! love alternate title, too: "Moth Madness!"
Namaste,
Lee

On Monday he ate through 1 metre of Mc Donald tartan - but he was still hungry...

On Tuesday, he ate through 2 metres of Mc Gregor tartan - but he was still hungry...

On Wednesday, he ate through 3 metres of Stuart tartan - but he was still hungry!!!

:D

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more of your elementals :D

and I LOVE the idea of a pegacorn!!!

I once wrote a poem about a selkie for a friend who insisted that the only wedding present she wanted from me was a poem! (The link doesn't quite work - it's the last poem on the page.)

Thanks for the link to the CGS too. I've been reading about them and wondering where they were in Australia - unfortunately none near me, but there is one right near the friend I just mentioned lol :) I shall tell her about it!

A pegacorn! I love it. Milly has been into unicorns lately and wondered about the wings she sees on some of them. She thinks the wingless unicorns can fly, too. Looking for unicorn book recs, too--

Can't wait to see the rest of the elementals on May Day!

Oh, how precious!!! A Pegacorn!
I love that he already knows so much about it.

Now I wanna pegacorn! *sniff* (said in a very whiny voice)

Sweet story Farida. Are you going to make a pegacorn? :)

That is a very sweet story. I believe the best accepted name for the winged unicorn is the allicorn (sometimes one L) in myth. We had quite an intensive allicorn phase in kindergarten with the LSG. Who would not prefer pegacorn, though?

Schelle, I love your poem.

LSM: I am glad to know about the allicorn. I did not tell the boy that Bede and I had a discussion about whether Pegasus was simply the name of the winged horse or if it was the kind of horse as well.

Mamakopp: I do better with human dolls than with rendering animals. My daughter thought my donkey was a bunny until I affixed its mane.

K.Jay: You should have a pegacorn.

Tanita: I really like that, too. I think it's great that he walked up to me to ask about what I was doing, and wasn't turned off by the fact that I was making a doll.

Anamaria: Milly may be on to something there. I can't think of any unicorn books I really like for young readers-- I still like the unicorn from A Swiftly Tilting Planet the best.

Schelle: Your poetry is good! It reads as if it should be set to music. I hope Lone Star Ma sees your selkie poem. I actually first thought it was the "Buried Treasure" poem,which is my favorite on the page.

Hello there, you of the elements (and interesting competitions).

The answer to your question (you know which it is) is that the music for the trailers is perhaps the most important element, and so I spend a lot of time looking for royalty-free downloads that can be legally put into the pieces. They all come from different places. The one behind HOUSE is actually a piece called "Dancer."

lol... congratulations Hannah!

Poor kitty :P Can't wait to see the poster!

Ha! I love it!

Good stuff! So many children's books AREN'T suitable for children - like Swimmy with it's mass sibling death, for instance. It's great to see one that acknowledges the coming carnage up front.

Tee-Kitten's First Armageddon. The sad thing is that I'd totally go watch that movie.

I'd join Adrienne in the next seat. Very funny stuff.

I'll get the popcorn!

Ah...an apocalyptic children's book--akin to the "Rapture" for kids??? Save a seat for me. I'll bring the Junior Mints!

Hilarious.

All those wild things! So funny!

These are great. :)

Wow, you made the flowers DEAD ON. What a gorgeous color!

Currants have way, way, WAY too many seeds in them.

just lovely!!

Beautiful!

I made apple butter once. Once.

Tanita, Mamaroots and LoneStarMa: Thanks! The extent of my jam/fruit-butter making involves taking skins off (apples and pears), cooking until the fruit is soft, and then puree-ing with the immersion blender.

These just keep getting more and more beautiful. I love the expression on her face and the tilt of her head. As for jam, we've made raspberry jam every fall for years now--it's just freezer jam, but I love it because it keeps the bright color of the berries and tastes so fresh. Super-easy to make, too (I use Pomona pectin). You should try it!

Oh, the Red Currant doll is so pretty!

I may take you up on that jam-trading deal when jam-making season comes round again.

This reminds me that the other day Lucas and I had a conversation re: preserving fruits.

Lucas: I know it's a lot of work to make jam and freeze fruit, but it is totally worth it.
Me: You didn't actually make any jam or freeze any fruit.
Lucas: I know, but it was still worth it.

Oh she is so pretty! I love your detail. Her staff with the blossoms on the end!!!!

Adrienne: Oh good! I was looking at you when I wrote what I did. I got a kick out of your exchange with Lucas.

Jama: Thanks! I'm glad you like her.

Anamaria: You tempt me... I love raspberry jam. In fact, I don't think I've met a jam I didn't like. I bought my father some dandelion jam years ago but I never actually tasted it.

Oh, Farida! She is beautiful...her colors lovely. The flowers are spot on!

Thanks for the fun contest, Farida and Minh Le! I am looking forward to seeing the winners!

Right. So, this needs some fleshing out probably and folks may stop speaking to me and I really and truly do ADORE the Lilly books, as well as the fabulous protagonist, but the first thing that came to my mind was:

Lilly's Purple Plastic Hearse

In this emotional tale of loss, the irresistible heroine of several domestic mouse dramas is mourned by friends and family after a devastating marker-sniffing incident in the famed Lightbulb Lab. Having sentenced herself to yet another time-out in a self-made Uncooperative Chair in Mr. Slinger's classroom after being scolded for a bit too enthusiastically wanting to interrupt sharing time with her positively peachy purple plastic marker, complete with interchangeable nibs, Lilly's endless curiosity leads to tragedy. Don't miss this opportunity to talk to your children about the irreversible dangers of Inhalant Abuse.

***************************

I hope folks will still speak to me after that.

This is gonna be fun!

Woo hoo guys! Now I gotta start the brain going...

now i regret being involved because i can't make any submissions... d'oh! I want in on the fun!

In the meantime, I'll be in the corner stretching my illustrating and photoshopping skills, so give me your best shot!

Minh: I feel the same way after seeing your painting, which I now have no chance of winning myself.

ROLF at the link to the bad books :) & at the millions of rats (we love the cats book...) okay, thinking cap on now... I NEED that butterfly herder lol

on second thoughts, drat you for that bad books link... my first idea for a sequel title - "Owl Rabies"... guess that ain't gonna fly :P

you may yet regret that "as many entries as you like" option :D

oh! count me in! I will be back with an entry or two. This is a fabulous idea!

I think the worst real sequel has got to be the Goodnight Moon sequel. That book is jacked up.

Here's my (first) entry:
What do People Do All Evening?
Children were bitterly disappointed to find out that after working all day, Sergeant Murphy just watches TV, Lowly Worm goes to bed early and Bug Dozer molts his exoskeleton.

Children's study of life cycles continues in Eric Carle's new The Very Hungry Bird (eats The Very Hunger Caterpillar.

Ezra Jack Keats presents The Day It Didn't Snow At All.

Office Buckles In Gloria: A Seat Belt Safety Story

"I Am Still a Bunny" by Ole Risom. We've already spent one fun-filled year with Nicholas the Bunny. Now the cute rabbit takes another trip through the seasons, in which he continues to be a passive, isolated observer of the pagent of life. "In spring, I watch other animals making friends." Children will be comforted by the fact that flowers still bloom, leaves still fall, and Nicholas is still watching them.

oh my gosh Farida what a fun contest- have to say the Hungry Bird cracked me up! Here is my first- I will have to play some more too fun! Thanks for letting me know about the contest!

unbeknownst to most Mike Mulligan owed most of his knowledge of large earth moving shovels to his older sister Michelle. While the other girls were playing under trees with dolls and their brothers, Michelle was teaching Mike the fine intracies of cellar digging on a small scale for the forest animals of Popperville to store their winter food. Recently dug up from the archives her story is now known in Michelle Mulligan and the Steam Shovel- she went on to be a ground shaker in women's liberation!

I just want to be clear that as a judge I am absolutely not susceptible to bribery... but you're welcome to try anyhow.

OK Farida. We had so much fun with this idea last night. Here is what we came up with as a family:

Rosie's Nap (Rosies Walk)

Daydream In The Classroom (Nightmare In My Closet)

Harold And The Invisable Crayon (harold and the purple crayon) this was Tobin's!

Mole Sings The Blues (Moles Music by David McPhail)

Thanks so much for such a fun contest! Had everyone in stitches!

"No one Poops But You,"
the not so popular sequel to the book "Everyone Poops" by Taro Gomi.

What a fabulous idea. I have to give this some thought.

Let's not forget the ever popular, Where the Wild Things Aren't, a loving commentary on boredom and conformity.

Not to mention the not-so-popular Dr. Seuss sequel, "The Fish was Right", where Sally and her older brother are grounded for allowing strange things and cats into the house.

Third time's a charm:

The depressing, but historically accurate companion to the Little House series called "Little House on the Reservation", where we see how Native Americans were abused by the federal government to satisfy the settlers' needs for more land.

OK, I must be in a dark mood this morning...I better get back to work. :)

I'm going to have fun reading everyone's entries! Fun contest!

Alkelda,

Here are my entries:

1. MIKE MULLIGAN AND HIS ETHANOL-POWERED PLOW--Mike Mulligan decides to go "green" and builds a plow that runs on the ethanol he manufactures using a Depression-era still in an old shed on his farm in Iowa.

2. CLICK, CLACK, CLUCK: CHICKENS THAT TAP DANCE--The chickens steal back the typewriter from Farmer Brown, write a screenplay for a song and dance musical, get financial backing from Gene Kelly's heirs, and produce a movie in which they star as a group of tap dancers at Radio City Music Hall called the Cluckettes.

3. BRIE AND FOIE GRAS FOR FRANCES--After spending a month-long summer vacation in Paris with her parents and younger sister, Frances returns home and refuses to eat anything other than brie cheese and foie gras imported from France.

4. THE VERY HUNGRY LARVA OR MOTH MADNESS--This is the tale of a "mad about plaid" caterpillar that eats his way through all the heirloom tartans in a Scottish castle. The larva is finally caught and "kilt" by a wild and woolly sheep shearer and his weaver wife who live on the banks of Loch lamb.

Not Sure if you'd consider the next two in the "lewd" category.

FROG AND TOAD ARE MARRIED--After years of hiding their true relationship, Frog and Toad come out of the closet and wed when the legislature passes a law in their state allowing same sex marriage.

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE HAVING A BASH--Max grows up and leaves home for Carousal State College--the biggest party school in the country. There, he meets other "wild things" and sails off with them into drunken oblivion every weekend. Of course, when he sobers up on Monday mornings, his Friday night dinners are always cold and moldy.

OOOps!!! it should read "Loch Lamb" in #4. I forgot the capital letter.

SHRIEEEEK!
YES, this is my DREAM for Bella: Run from the vampires -- human or otherwise -- NOW!

I LOVE this. SO, so much. This makes my day!

Brilliant and hilarious. *Thunderous applause* !

Too funny, Alkelda!

I haven't read these books, 'cause I'm afraid I'd go off on a series of rants :) Love this version, though.

"That furry pretender Elmo sabotaged the rightful star Grover’s spotlight"

You have shared the words I have been too timid to speak.

Love this! The LSG is currently holed up in her room with the latest - I get it when she's done. She and I both find them sickeningly addictive although we are, of course, disgusted with what the LSG calls the Little Mermaid Effect. Sadly, she says that none of her friends, also fans, see this aspect.

I'm glad you enjoyed this. I started writing this after my mom opened the latest book, said, "Oh, I can't do this," closed it, and then opened it again. "Sickeningly addictive" is accurate, LSM. i hadn't thought of the Little Mermaid Aspect, but you're right! The books belong on my guilty pleasures shelf. Really, I would have found the ending right and proper with just Twilight.

Technically the vampire could still eat Elmo right?

Yes, LET'S send the vampire after Elmo. Bring Grover back!

SPPPFFFFFF!!!!!

(That was the sound of me spit-taking all over the monitor.) Hilarious! And BLESS YOU for sticking up for Grover.

Oh, I could have saved so much time and money by just reading this instead of slogging through BD! Too funny...
