What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

WARNING: This book is for aunts, uncles, nieces and/or nephews ONLY!Let’s face it, being an aunt or uncle is AWESOME. There are countless adventures to be had, from eating dessert before dinner to activities with the perfect amount of HDD - Healthy Dose of Danger. But that isn’t all. In order to master the sacred art of Auntieology and Uncleology, you must be tested by a distinguished panel of nieces and nephews, as there are rules and regulations to follow. For instance: when is bedtime? 8 o’clock you say? WRONG! The Secret Society of Aunts & Uncles is a madcap, magical adventure into the heart of what it means to have an aunt or uncle–how we learn to keep each other close and find love in the simplest things. Jake Gyllenhaal and Greta Caruso paint a goofy, loving portrait of one of the most important relationships in children’s lives in this funny and heartfelt romp of a picture book with witty and inventive illustrations by award-winning illustrator Dan Santat. This is the perfect gift for the nice or nephew in anyone’s life. If a parental unit is reading this, bedtime is DEFINITELY 8 o’clock sharp, aunts and uncles will not make any exceptions! (Okay, now that that’s out of the way. . .Secret Society rules state it is ALWAYS exactly three minutes before the parental units get home. . .but that’s just between us.)
