Unstoppable:
If you could have any superpower, what would it be? Well, what if the answer was: ALL OF THEM! When a bird narrowly escapes the clutches of a hungry cat, a nearby crab admires the bird's ability to fly, while the bird admits a longtime yearning for claws. And, just like that, they team up. Pretty soon, the team includes every animal in the forest who's ever wanted someone else's special trait. But how will these animals stop humans from destroying the forest for a megamall? It's going to take claws, wings, and Congress together to be truly Unstoppable!.

About the author
Adam Rex
94 books781 followersAdam Rex grew up in Phoenix, Arizona, the middle of three children. He was neither the smart one (older brother) or the cute one (younger sister), but he was the one who could draw. He took a lot of art classes as a kid, trying to learn to draw better, and started painting when he was 11. And later in life he was drawn down to Tucson in order to hone his skills, get a BFA from the University of Arizona, and meet his physicist wife Marie (who is both the smart and cute one).
Adam is nearsighted, bad at all sports, learning to play the theremin, and usually in need of a shave. He can carry a tune, if you don't mind the tune getting dropped and stepped on occasionally. He never remembers anyone's name until he's heard it at least three times. He likes animals, spacemen, Mexican food, Ethiopian food, monsters, puppets, comic books, 19th century art, skeletons, bugs, and robots.
Garlic and crosses are useless against Adam. Sunlight has been shown to be at least moderately effective. A silver bullet does the trick. Pretty much any bullet, really.

This wacky picture book starts out with the existential moanings of a crab. With some creative problem solving and some really odd portmanteaus, the animals join together to solve a crisis threatening their home.
I really recommend reading this one without looking at the synopsis first. I went into this not knowing what to expect, and I was almost laughing out loud at the crazy turns the story took. It's silly and amusing, but somehow still manages to teach a small civics lesson. Go figure.
Overall, this is a fun book with a nice message about how the power of working together makes you unstoppable.

My kid loved this so much. He couldn’t stop laughing and talking about it after we finished it.
Great twist too!

"People say if the night is clear and your heart is true, you can still see Congresibirdraburtlebear flying over this great land--passing laws and pinching the noses that need to be pinched."
Just got this one out again, and man, it's so fun! This is one of the best picture books ever written.
------------------Original Review:‐----------------
UNSTOPPABLE!!!!
So. I ordered a massive heap of books from the library and found I had one to many to fit in my bike basket and bring home. This one, I figured, erronously, based on the cover would probably just be pretty silly and I could probably leave it at the library. I cracked it open to make sure.
Turns out...
This book is SO MUCH fun. I did not expect the direction this book would take, but it is absolutely delightful.
This is not a serious book, yet after rereading it half a dozen times (cause it's that good) I've begun to think that perhaps it is a rather serious book.
At any rate, I'm seriously crazy about it
This book is SO utterly fantastic and I LOVE reading it aloud.
Unlike Adam Rex's "Why?" (which I also love to death), the little kids will have no trouble understanding this one and should find it just as hilarious and inspirational as I did.

A few animals team up to make use of their strengths so they can become... unstoppppable!
This is ridiculous and I laughed out loud several times. I won't spoil the jokes, other than to say that the President of the US and Congress become involved, and the turtle says "turd" (for turtle + bird). I laughed at the President, and I'm sure pre-schoolers will thrill to "turd"!! The only reason I'm not giving this five stars is that I'm not sure if young children will really understand some of the sardonic humor here.

This is hilarious. *spoiler below*
Picture a bird, flying, carrying a crab carrying a turtle carrying a bear carrying Madam President carrying all the members of Congress.
Call your reps and read them this book!

Richie’s Picks: UNSTOPPABLE by Adam Rex and Laura Park, ill., Chronicle, May 2020, 56p., ISBN: 978-1-4521-6504-2
“Make someone happy, make someone smile
Let’s all work together and make life worthwhile
Let’s work together, come on, come on
Let’s work together, now now people
Because together we will stand, every boy, girl, woman, and a man”
-- Canned Heat (1970)
SWIMMY, a 1964 Caldecott Honor book, is the ultimate, classic, picture book portrayal of cooperation:
“‘Let’s go and swim and play and SEE things!’ he said happily.
‘We can’t,’ said the little red fish. ‘The big fish will eat us all.’
‘But you can’t just lie there,’ said Swimmy. ‘We must THINK of something.’
Swimmy thought and thought and thought.
Then suddenly he said, ‘I have it!’
‘We are going to swim all together like the biggest fish in the sea!’
He taught them to swim close together, each in his own place, and when they had learned to swim like one giant fish, he said, ‘I’ll be the eye.’
And so they swam in the cool morning water and in the midday sun and chased the big fish away.”
--Leo Lionni, SWIMMY (1963)
A couple of generations later, UNSTOPPABLE, by Adam Rex and Laura Park, is the wackiest picture book depiction of cooperation that I’ve ever read.
[Crab] “Oh! If only I might escape this life of muddy scuttling and fly. And FLY! To soar, happy and carefree--”
[Bird] “Oh man, are you joking? Do I look carefree? I almost got eaten by a cat.”
[Crab] “I...just wish I could fly, that’s all.”
[Bird] “And I wish I could pinch that cat on the nose with big, snapping claws.”
From the look on the crab’s and the bird’s faces in the following, wordless illustration, they are having simultaneous epiphanies. Turn the page, and the bird is using his feet to grab hold of the crab.
Then they take off:
[Crab] “I can FLY!”
[Bird] “I have CLAWS!”
[Bird] “Crabbird!”
[Crab] “Birdrab!”
[Both, upon teaching the cat a lesson] “UNSTOPPABLE!”
If two cooperating is good, three is better. Adding a turtle, they can swim and fly like a duck. Of course, four is better yet! They add a bear in need of friends.
Kids will marvel about that smiling bird flying around with everyone else hanging down and holding on.
But that’s nothing! When a more serious threat appears, they swoop into the Oval Office and take off with the President in tow! And, no, it doesn’t even stop there.
In the real world, there are many issues that would benefit immeasurably from national and worldwide cooperation. In that sense, this wacky book is really important. UNSTOPPABLE shows young readers how cooperation can be a real win-win proposition...and a barrel of fun.

Still not sure what to make of this book. I loved the cooperation angle and the funny ways the animals work together ( bird, crab turtle and bear) to overcome enemies. The made up animal names and illustrations were quite funny. Then the book takes an odd turn when they need help to save the forest and the go to the president and then congress so they can all work together. Good message about cooperation but not sure if kids will really "get it" once they add the people to the story. It almost feels like two stories. The first funny and nonsense and the next more serious. Good for a preschool or early elemntary.

Sometimes outlandish plot developments sink, not soar.

This clever book took a swerve in the direction of, "Whoa, I did NOT see that coming," in the best possible way. :-)
July 20, 2020
Working together is the way to get it done! This is a fun picture book, about some animals, unhappy with their own plight who band together to become super heroes in their own, funny way. Would make a great read aloud to spread the theme of working together.

Wasn't expecting it to go where it did. That was just weird.
It did not do a good job explaining the job of congress. And it did not to a good job explaining the political issue at hand; it was very one-sided.

Oh my gosh - this is hilarious. Where the other reviewers said it went off the rails - those are the funniest parts to me. It is nonsensical and over-the-top and political and clever and I laughed out loud a bunch. The art is just the cherry on top. Love it.

Adam Rex is such a nut. In a good way. Swell illustrations.

May 17, 2020
Joining to work together flies on the wings of a more than unexpected adventure, which ends with a quirky, yet great message that leaves one wondering for days. In other words, a terrific read-aloud!
Bird hates being chased by cats and after a near-death experience, flaps into a crab, who's convinced bird's life must be wonderful. Bird immediately wishes he had claws, though. The two create an odd alliance and are as happy as can be until the next problem arises. Each time, there's a solution. Or is there?
While this book starts out somewhat logical enough, it snowballs into an adventure packed with imagination, friendship and a touch of odd twists. But it's the inspiration and advantage of working together, using each other's talents, which make this a gem. It's meaningful, it's funny, and it's oh-so fun to read. Listeners will wonder and giggle and even cheer this amazing group along. And maybe peer up in the sky, too.
The illustrations swing right along with the tale, rounding the entire thing off into a lovely read. The animals are impossible not to like and each moment is presented very clearly. It's fun to watch every page as the adventure (and silliness) expand and reach new impossible but all the more root-worthy limits.
I highly recommend this one as a read-aloud and believe young listeners won't get enough of it.
I received a complimentary copy and after reading it, see this one as a 'must-have' for reading circles.

Really cute story that could be about cooperation and teamwork, but is mostly about silly fun. I love Adam Rex as an illustrator, but this is an instance where using someone else really works. Laura Park's illustrations are strong but simple and leave plenty of white space to breathe in. I could see this being a big hit at story times because of how silly the name combinations are and how easy the illustrations are to see from a few feet away.
July 15, 2020
2.5 stars. I'm a little undecided about this book. I am extremely confused about it and I feel that the readers at my library will be as well. It was funny at first, then all of a sudden it talks about Congress and voting and the national bird? I think it's suppose to be funny but I don't think kids will get it.
August 27, 2020
There are a handful of picture books that I have to pause when reading because I'm so startled by the text that I have to give myself a moment to collect myself. This is one of those books. Through confused laughs and appreciation of Park's illustrations and Rex's clever (and strange) story, my 6-year-old and I talked about Congress, totem poles, and Steve.
May 6, 2020
Beginning with almost wordless panels of a cat jumping at both a crab and a crow, this book quickly transforms into a picture book that is made to share aloud. Crab and Crow join forces to be able to both fly and pinch the cat with claws. They are unstoppable now! But then they both thought about being able to swim too, so they talked to a turtle and transformed into something even more unstoppable. When an angry bear tries to attack them, they invite him to join in too. Upon finding out that forest demolition is what is making the bear angry though, they have to take action and become truly unstoppable!
As always Rex delights and surprises with his story lines. While this seems like a straight forward cumulative story at first, it transforms much like the animals themselves into something far more interesting by the end. Rex injects the tale with plenty of humor as the creatures come up with a variety of mash-up names for each of their combinations. The refrain of unstoppable will be a great way to get audiences participating in the book too.
Park’s illustrations are crisp and clear, bright colors against a white background. They will work particularly well with a group, adding even more to the readaloud appeal of the title.
Funny, surprising and empowering. Appropriate for ages 3-5.

I love hearing animals talk like this. And the unexpected (by me) attempt to derail the cycle of violence with Steve is hip and awright. I love how many things this book tries to do all at once (language play, invention-thinking, civics lesson) and I wish I could say it all hung together.
But it has the fractured feel of a cartoon with endless quick cuts that tries hard to keep me amped. I long for a more sustained note.
And, then, when we got to the bulldozers my heart sank, because I was afraid I already knew where it was going. I kinda did, although I didn't expect the abduction of the president (WHOA THIS FEELS WEIRD AFTER JANUARY 6 -- but anyway carrying on). I truly perked up at her schooling us about laws, and the idea of democracy; still, I missed a sense of surprise. By the end there's just a bit too much to unpack (like, uh, what about the mall?) and we've lost the fun of messing with our names.
The title is dynamite. It's what we wish we were. And right now aren't. (And maybe I want my optimism with a little salt.)
(If I were to try this again as a writing-launch, I would just borrow the truly fun idea of name-merging and not read the whole book, alas.)

This would be a real crowd-pleaser as a read aloud...
When a crow and a crab team up to become a "Crabbird" 0r is it a "Birdrab" - a superhero that can pinch the nose of a cat and fly away....definitely unstoppable! Until the crab decides he would like to swim like a duck, so they befriend a turtle and the three become a Craburtlebird/Birdrablurtle/Crabturd - regardless, unstoppable! And so it goes until they stop a land developer by becoming the Congresibirdraburtlebear - unstoppable!
Rex is at his manic best with this one. Crunching together an unlikely group of animals to expand their skills is one thing, but coming up with the names of the newly-created superhero(es) is what takes this over the top and is sure to elicit yucks galore.
Digital artwork rendered using Procreate by Laura Park are as bold and outlandish as the story. Simplified shapes and a limited pallatte (with the red of the crab popping out in each image) keep this from getting too out of hand.
For a good time, grab this book - and quickly!
Highly Recommended for PreS-grade 3.

Created in Procreate on an iPad, the colorful illustrations follow a crab and a bird who realize that if they combine forces, they just might be unstoppable--hence, the title of this picture book. They get revenge on an enemy and have their dreams come true as they fly through the air. Not content with this success, they invite a turtle and then a bear to join them, making for some very funny illustrations and combined names. But the humor turns serious once they realize that their habitat is about to be destroyed for a shopping mall. They swoop up the President from the White House, grab the members of Congress, and conduct a voice vote resulting in protecting the area for the animals that live there. The ending of the story makes it sound like quite a tale, part of this country's heritage. It's hard to resist a fable like this one, and most young readers will be amused by all of the images and these unlikely partnerships.

The Reviewers seemed to run correctly last week, but didn't run this week at all, and the Readers list hasn't been fixed at all. I guess algorithm don't care. Looking at the beta pages, algorithm loves stars.
This is a charmingly weird and funny book that takes an unexpected turn. The different portmanteau words are amusing, and work for the collective good is a great thing to support.

Hmm.....I have very mixed feelings about this book. Let me explain why:
We were starting out strong and hilarious. I mean, a crab and a bird working together to be unstoppable....then add a turtle....then add a bear.....and how they vanquish their foes.
But then we go political and while I get the message (when we work together, and come together for the common good, we are unstoppable), it didn't come across as natural. Additionally.....Crab and Bird are envious of a duck. So why isn't there a duck in the story? That is something that doesn't make sense to me......
I *almost* was going to do this in my upcoming storytime with my Kindergarten kiddos....but with the political angle, I know it won't work virtually. So I won't even try.

This is a delightfully silly and absurd tale. That's the only way to approach it -- crab wants to fly and bird wants to be able to tweak cat on the nose for stalking both of them! A new cooperative friendship is born. Add in a duck because they want to be able to swim and fly -- NO! Wait! No ducks in sight so we shall use a turtle! Which, when combined, of course creates crabturd.... (much to the delight of children all of the world, no doubt!). Next -- an angry bear! Who points out that their lovely lake front is being overtaken by bulldozers to construct, of all things, a shopping mall. WHAT?! No way. Off to Washington, DC to stop that nonsense. Completely silly. Utterly delightful. And adults will sigh and say, "If only it were that simple..."

“And people say if the night is clear, and your heart is true, you can still see Congresibirdraburtlebear flying over our great land — passing laws and pinching the noses that need to be pinched.”
A crab and a bird, both harassed by a cat, envy each other’s ability (the crab to pinch; the bird to fly). And when they join forces, they can exact their revenge! “Crabbird! Birdrab!” Flying and pinching? Is there anything better? Well, maybe if they could swim ... soon a turtle joins their group. But are they unstoppable? What about that bear? And those bulldozers?
Ah, if it were only that easy to get Congress to agree on something. 🤪 A great message delivered in a comic tone.

June 22, 2020After a cat stalks both a crab and a crow, the crustacean and bird team up to get their revenge by creating a creature that can both fly AND pinch the cat's nose. And the animal partnerships expand from there until they make a team that's unstoppable. This is a funny take on cooperation and creative mashups and I love the silly mashup names that they give their cooperative creations. This would be a crowd-pleaser for a wide range of ages and I would definitely take it to afterschool storytimes.

Hm, I'm not sure the humor hit the mark for me on this one. A bunch of animals team up to continuously create a "larger" creature (thought the juxtaposed names were a bit funny). Their final absurd conglomeration ends up including the president, Congress, etc. When the animals say "unstoppable," certain letters are highlighted in the animals' respective colors, but it was a bit confusing since those letters didn't seem to mean anything particular or to be divided up in a logical way? Maybe kids will enjoy the bizarre humor though.
