That's Not Fair

From the author of The Boring Book, a New York Times Best Illustrated Children’s Book, comes a delightfully comical story about being a kid in an adult’s world where so many things seem unfair! Why can’t a kid eat cookies right before bed? Why do adults get to stay up late while kids have to go to bed early? And why do adults say, “Not now!” right when kids want to play?! In this humorous picture book from acclaimed author-illustrator Shinsuke Yoshitake, one very patient father offers increasingly imaginative explanations for his kid’s complaints. The result? A more-than-fair, laugh-out-loud reading experience for all! ENCOURAGES CREATIVE THINKING: Kids have been asking “why” since the beginning of time, and this funny book captures that natural curiosity in a clever way. Wildly imaginative scenarios will inspire little readers to ask questions and dream up their own elaborate explanations for the silliness in their lives, sparking conversation, connection, and out-of-the-box thinking.
