Michael Buckley’s picture books bring his sense of humor to the youngest readers. Kel Gilligan’s Daredevil Stunt Show (2012) turns an ordinary bath time into a wild stunt performance, while Lenny the Lobster Can’t Stay for Dinner (2019) puts an interactive twist on a story about a lobster who arrives at a restaurant as the main course.
