About the Author
Chris McKimmie is the author, illustrator, and designer of eight children’s books, including Apple to Zoos, Brian Banana Duck Sunshine Yellow, The Magic Day, and The Painted Bird.
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2—Maisie Moo loves her dog, playing drums, sleeping late, and hearing her father's sound-effects-filled stories. Her favorite color is "magenta polka dots." She does NOT care for being called "an angel." ("I am always an angel in the Venice Christmas concert. I would rather play the drums or be the donkey"). She also dislikes sweeping the family's gift shop. Maisie's imaginary friend, Invisible Lucy, agrees with her on every matter: the dog is "as lazy as a pillow" and growls at garden gnomes; the earth in the morning is "as red as toffee apples." A handful of Aussie phrases might need to be explained: "fairy floss," "the Royal Show," "kookaburras," "He is a bit of a dill." The primitive cartoons are as wild as Maisie. An energetic mix of acrylics on canvas and paper is balanced with watercolors, ink, and pencil. The book has hand lettering and is awash in smeary colors, with some figures in black and white. Lauren Child's fans will appreciate McKimmie's style. This unique portrait's sole flaw is its stylized font, which is difficult to read and will not invite independent readers. Nevertheless, children will agree with the narrator of this richly told tale, who says her life is "a little bit wonderful."—Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VA
