Critics Review
STARRED REVIEW “A funny concept book is rare; even rarer is a funny concept book that generates chortles from both adults reading it aloud and the children in the audience. Young readers will recognize the authentic sibling dynamic and giggle at the linguistic confusion, while adults will appreciate the subtle lesson about perspective and language development… A winningly simple concept executed with precision—perfect for preschool lovers of silly wordplay.”
* Kirkus Reviews *About The Author
John Himmelman
John Himmelman is a naturalist, a martial arts instructor, and the award-winning author-illustrator of nearly 90 books for young readers, including the Bunjitsu Bunny series praised by School Library Journal as “Delightful … reminiscent of Arnold Lobel’s ‘Frog and Toad’ stories or Jon Muth’s ever-popular Zen Shorts.” What his books have in common is his desire to share what makes him laugh, what gives him hope, and what he wants to learn more about. Himmelman lives in Killingworth, Connecticut, with his wife, Betsy, and their menagerie of dogs, cats, and chickens.
