Nothing is what it seems—and anything can happen—when the hilarious team of Allan Ahlberg and Bruce Ingman sneak a peek under the table.

What do you do when you’re having an ordinary day, only to discover there’s a big gray elephant (named Nathaniel) under the table? Why, you get him to help you wash the car! And the kangaroo (named Abigail) that appears under that same table can help bring in groceries. But when there are penguins in the fridge, the forks and knives are running around, and the salt and ketchup are acting up, there is only one thing to do: pack everyone in the camper and go on vacation! With a wink and a nod, Allan Ahlberg and Bruce Ingman reunite for another wry, comical, zany adventure starring the family introduced in The Runaway Dinner and The Pencil.

Under the Table is filled with lighthearted imaginative fun. In this book, the food and utensils move and talk and so many wild animals appear under the table. The only thing the family can do when this happens is go on vacation to play with all their new animal friends at the beach. This book is a fun read for young readers. The ending suggests that new friends will continue to arrive and there will be more adventures in the future. For older readers, you may wonder how the magic system works but it is best not to think too deeply and just enjoy the fantastical fun of the book.
