Publisher's Description of Books That Drive Kids Crazy: This Book Is Red
This clever companion to This Is a Ball and Did You Take the B from My _ook? is the perfect read-aloud for the giggling masses who love Hervé Tullet's Press Here, Lane Smith's It's a Book!, and BJ Novak's The Book With No Pictures.
The Books That Drive Kids CRAZY! series offers parents, teachers, and storytellers a hilarious script for fun reading time with children. In book 3, This Book Is Red, something is clearly bonkers when the narrator insists that frogs and penguins are obviously the same color as lobsters–and the claims get more outrageous from there. What is up with this nonsense? Kids will demand to know–and all readers will be howling with laughter all along the way. With strikingly simple text and art, Books That Drive Kids CRAZY! are ideal picks for emergent readers.
This is a cleverly written series by Beck and Matt Stanton that is bound to get a rise out of the listener, and maybe the reader, too. The idea is that ordinarily we read concrete information to our youngsters, therefore the adult is always telling it straight. The content in these books, however, is designed to be incorrect giving the child the opportunity to use their critical thinking skills and debate the truth. These books are sure to glean some giggles during story time, while helping your young person sharpen their listening and thinking skills and learn to identify what they know is true or false! Books measure 10.62" x 7.88" x 0.38" 32 pgs, hc. ~Judy
