Perfect for fans of The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales!

From beloved author Jairo Buitrago and award-winning illustrator Mariana Ruiz Johnson comes a hilarious collection of six short stories where the normal gets a twist of wildness and each tale is more unexpected than the last.

What would you wish for if you found a genie in a bottle of juice? Have you ever wondered how cats became our pets?

Join a cast of brave, clever kids as they discover that the wildest creatures—and the wildest ideas—can be found right in their own lives.

Travel back to the Ice Age, where a family of cave kids accidentally adopts a saber-toothed tiger cub instead of their dog, and discover how the very first cat might have become part of the family. Open a bottle of blueberry juice and meet a genie who learns that the best wishes are for friendship, not for castles or treasure. Or, head to the park, where a group of kids challenge a team of silly monsters to a soccer match.

Filled with humor and stunning illustrations by award-winning illustrator Mariana Ruiz Johnson, this laugh-out-loud collection of stories explores how every new friend might be a little more interesting than you expect.
