Copy provided by publisher 1250843669 The illustrative style is not my favorite but they tell the actual story I think this book would be good for storytime with older children who can get the joke that the text and the pictures don t match Very funny 1250843669 Almost The art is amazing Love Kazu Kibuishi. Concept is great It just kind of loses its way in the middle And it takes a random swipe at math Math rules Stop teaching kids that it doesn t rule Basically there are 100 better versions of this concept But none with art like this Pick up for the art 1250843669 Dragonsteel Signed Preorder Macmillan s Art Print Gift Promotion which you can submit your proof of purchase from anywhere including Dragonsteel blog instagram youtube kofi spotify 1250843669 Thanks to MacKids for the early copy in exchange for an honest review. Pretty cute but doesn t seem like it d be good for younger audiences because they won t understand irony yet 1250843669 A testament to the power of boredom math and sitting around in chairsand engineering It was spectacular to see how Kibuishi interpreted the minimal text from Sanderson Fans of Kibuishi will pour over the characteristic art Fans of Sanderson will pour over the well chosen text A definite contender for honors Perk up award committees 1250843669 Yawn I guess this book was alright A little boring but the illustrations were really lovely I thoroughly enjoyed the details on that chair That was a good chair for sitting Just kidding This book was amazing I love good dry literal humor The illustrations were bright beautiful and exciting This would be a fun book to read together during a story time I can see kids having fun pointing out the exciting things happening in the background to the adults who are reading the text Thanks to Macmillan Kids for the DRC 1250843669 this is a children s picture book and i obviously am not the target audience i m not going to rate it i don t have children yet but if i did this is not one i would purchase for their shelves i m not going to lie i thought it was stupid af but it s clearly trying to be cheeky what with the title idk 1250843669
