Being a kid in an adult's world can be a challenge, especially when so many things seem unfair!
Why can't a kid eat cookies right before bed? Why do adults get to stay up late while kids have to go to bed early? And why do adults say, "Not right now!" right when kids want to play?! In this humorous picture book from acclaimed author-illustrator Shinsuke Yoshitake (The Boring Book, There Must Be More Than That!), one very patient father offers increasingly imaginative explanations for his kid's complaints. The result? A more-than-fair, laugh-out-loud reading experience for all!
SHINSUKE YOSHITAKE IS A RISING STAR: Fall 2019's THE BORING BOOK has met with critical acclaim, from its Kirkus starred review to its selection as an Amazon Best Book of the Month and a coveted New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book of the Year. Similarly, fall 2020's THERE MUST BE MORE THAN THAT! was selected as both a Kirkus and New York Times Notable Book of the Year.
ENCOURAGES CREATIVE THINKING: Kids have been asking "why" since the beginning of time, and this book capitalizes on that natural curiosity in a clever, compelling way. Wildly imaginative scenarios will inspire little readers to ask questions and dream up their own elaborate explanations for the silliness in their lives, sparking conversation, connection, and out-of-the-box thinking.
AGE-APPROPRIATE HUMOR: A strong voice will resonate with the intended audience, and the quirky, thought-provoking scenarios are fodder for laugh-out-loud moments.
STELLAR READ-ALOUD: Smart, comedic pacing, increasingly imaginative scenarios, and a compelling voice add up to reader (and parent) satisfaction.
IDEAL FOR RELUCTANT READERS: With comic-esque style, unique narrative approach, fast-pace, and edgy tone, this book packs lots of reluctant reader appeal.
Perfect for:Fans of award-winning author-illustrator Shinsuke Yoshitake Parents seeking a humorous picture book about growing up Parents, grandparents, and caregivers
