In this hilarious and wacky picture book, Shark and Train egg each other on for one competition after another, including burping, bowling, Ping Pong, piano playing, pie eating and many more! Who do YOU think will win, Shark or Train With Tom Lichtenheld's hilarious and playful illustrations combined with Chris Barton's zany text, this irreverent picture book will have you both laughing out loud and eager for more crazy scenarios.

About the Author :

Tom Lichtenheld is the illustrator of What Are You So Grumpy About , What's with This Room and the New York Times bestseller Duck! Rabbit! He is a creative director at an advertising firm.

Review :
*"Lichtenheld's snarling shark and grimacing train are definitely ready for a fight, and his scenarios gleefully play up the absurdity. The combatants' expressions are priceless when they lose. A glum train in smoky dejection, or a bewildered, crestfallen shark? It's hard to choose; both are winners."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review) *"This inspired pairing, executed with ingenuity and packed with action and humor, is a sure winner."--School Library Journal (starred review) *"This is a genius concept ... Just when readers will think the scenarios can't get more absurd, the book moves into even funnier territory. ... Lichtenheld's watercolor cartoons have a fluidity and goofy intensity that recalls Mad magazine, while Barton gives the characters snappy dialogue throughout."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Barton's deadpan text-sparked with dialogue balloons that give the characters both personality and one-liners is matched by Lichtenheld's spot-on visual humor."--The Horn Book "Barton's imaginative and wacky scenarios are knocked home by Lichtenheld's ferociously funny artwork and will leave kids measuring up their dump truck and T-Rex for the next tale of the tape."--Booklist New York Times BestsellerParent's Choice Silver HonorA Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year
