by Sara Pennypacker (Author), Daniel Salmieri (Illustrator)

In the tradition of The Stupids, Meet the Dullards is a clever and irreverent picture book about a comically boring family, from bestselling author Sara Pennypacker and illustrator Daniel Salmieri.

But their children--Blanda, Borely, and Little Dud--have other ideas. . . .

Never has dullness been so hilarious than in this deadpan, subversive tale.
