Paul Pineapple’s books
If You Give a Deer a Carrot
Feeding the deer leads to lunacy — but it only gets worse when you stop!
A girl feeds a deer on her front lawn. The next day there are two deer…a family…a herd. A stag crashes through her window. A herd chases her car. Her parents are upset. Her sister is insanely jealous. But if she stops handing out carrots, what kind of mischief will those deer get into next?
Written in rhyming quatrains, with ebullient, absurd illustrations, If You Give a Deer a Carrot will make your kids spit out their milk laughing.
Can I Trade the Baby for a Dog?
A boy gets a baby sister—and wishes she were a dog.
So his mother turns his hand into a “hand hound” named Lefty, who follows him everywhere. But soon Lefty gets an attention-hogging sister named Righty.
See Lefty and Righty work out their differences (eventually, kinda) in a picture book for any child with a sister, a brother, or an imagination.
Kooky Rooster series
Chickens have roamed free on Kauai since Hurricane Iniki busted their coops in 1992. Crowing roosters keep anyone on the garden island from sleeping past dawn. These are the true (completely made up) stories of one very annoying rooster, his Long-Suffering Hen, and their Kooky Chick.

Who is Paul Pineapple?
Paul Pineapple is the author of like a zillion books for children (well, six so far). He plays ridiculous songs on the piano (pretty well), banjo (badly), and ukulele (don’t ask — well, okay).
Paul grew up in a town he called “Oak Pork,” Illinois, but the winters were too cold. He lives today in Austin, Texas, where the summers are too hot. How’s the weather at your school? He would love to visit.
