Editorial Reviews
“Kids are allowed to indulge in a cathartic release of naughty inclinations…As unapologetic as it is gleeful. Rule abiders need not apply.” ― Kirkus Reviews
Unwrapping Some Illustrations
The Book
This is a sweet interactive book that youngsters will love. Little ones will discover what happens when you tap an egg too hard, shake a box of cereal with the lid open, drop a mug full of coco, or shout really loudly beside a kitten asleep in a basket, just to name a few? Oops!
Playful scenarios give children an opportunity to explore cause and effect situations where they usually would be asked to be careful. They are asked to clap, shake and imagine a silly world of before-and-afters. They will love it.
The illustrations are bright and colourful. They show the messy, silly and surprising results of the reader's interactions with the book. Pascale Bonenfont is also the author/illustrator of Play with Jay! and Fun and Games for Little Readers. I highly recommend this fun, engaging book.
