About this Item

Hardcover. You would think it's obvious. Who hasn't heard "Well, that's a stupid question"? This inviting little book will amuse children who enjoy silliness and we don't think there is one that doesn't. Amusing illustrations of 23 scenarios pulled from real life and from, we'll call it, exaggerated real life. And what child, and adult, doesn't exaggerate from time to time? Are you in a hurry? says the person behind the bathroom door. Too sick for school? Dad asks the spotted green child. Is it too hot? Mum asks the person in the shower. You don't like it? Mum asks from underneath a plate of spaghetti. Some are possible. A few are probable. But most are definitely impossible, except in a child's imagination. So that means they are most certainly funny. AGES: 9 to 12 AUTHOR: Philippe Corentin is a French author and illustrator of more than 20 children's books that often satirise icons of children's literature (like Santa Claus or Little Red Riding Hood) and breaks the stereotypes to make them absurd and friendly, in a word, human.

About this title

Synopsis

You would think it's obvious.

Who hasn't heard "Well, that's a stupid question"? This inviting little book will amuse children who enjoy silliness and we don't think there is one that doesn't. Amusing illustrations of 23 scenarios pulled from real life and from, we'll call it, exaggerated real life. And what child, and adult, doesn't exaggerate from time to time?

Are you in a hurry? says the person behind the bathroom door.

Too sick for school? Dad asks the spotted green child.

Is it too hot? Mom asks the person in the shower.

You don't like it? Mom asks from underneath a plate of spaghetti.

Some are possible. A few are probable. But most are definitely impossible, except in a child's imagination.

So that means they are most certainly funny.
