LoveReading4Kids Says
Deceptively simple and very funny indeed, John Kane’s new picture book is a treat to share with children.
Riffing on the popular memory-game, it presents us with a series of questions and answers, each question repeating – in order – those that have come before and adding another, each answer perfectly logical and deliciously absurd, until at last there’s a final surprise.
Kane won the English 4 – 11 Picture Book Award with I Say Ooh, You Say Aah, and this is equally clever and original. The bright, bold, digitally created illustrations add to the fun and impact.
