Books like Mustache Baby, Dragons Love Tacos, Ninja Red Riding Hood, My Teacher is a Monster (No, I am not), and The Day the Crayons Quit, draw me in with just their titles. The magic of these books is in the unexpected, which creates humor and hooks me into reading the story repeatedly. After reading these books and writing or revising, you might surprise yourself with your own unexpected magic!
