Comments:
I’m telling you, I’ve long known William Joyce was a genius,
and his newest book is proof. Not only is it imaginative, the illustrations are
top notch. These are the quirky kind of illustrations you’d like to hang in
your kid’s bedroom or playroom. Colorful, weird, and well-executed.
The book is basically a question and answer between children
and a professor who knows that Mischievians are to blame for a lot of the
things kids get blamed for, as well as other oddities of life. It’s
encyclopedic in scope, and I think it’s good for older picture book readers,
perhaps ages 6-8.
These illustrations are priceless. How can one human being
have such a corner on creativity? It’s not fair.
I highly recommend.
Would you recommend
this to a friend?
