Book Reviews of Whatever (Bccb Blue Ribbon Picture Book Awards (Awards))
Book Review: Excellent book for kids with humor and attitude
Summary: 5 Stars
A fresh take on Maurice Sendak's "Pierre" (whose catch-phrase was, "I don't care!"). William Bee's illustrations and tone are sharp and witty. Yes, the central character gets eaten by a tiger. Yes, his father responds with, "whatever." Yes, many kids will recognize themselves in the main character's difficult-to-impress attitude, and most kids will respond with delight and laughter and a dawning recognition of how their attitudes look and feel from others' perspectives. A great little book both for entertainment and personal growth. I also recommend William Bee's "Beware of the Frog" for fantastic illustrations and a charmingly creepy little story that begs to be read aloud -- the text lends itself to creative storytelling.
Summary of Whatever (Bccb Blue Ribbon Picture Book Awards (Awards))
Billy can be very difficult to please. Show him something very tall or very small, and he?ll say, "whatever." Let him play in the bounciest moonwalk, and he?ll shrug, "whatever." Take him for a ride in the smokiest train or the speediest space ship ? it doesn?t matter, Billy?s reaction is always the same. What might the surly boy say if a hungry tiger came by, and his nonchalant dad gave Billy a taste of his own medicine?Parents Books
