Part of the Books That Drive Kids CRAZY! series
A narrator's wild claims about colors spark laughter and curiosity.
In 'This Book Is Red,' the narrator makes absurd claims, like frogs and penguins being the same color as lobsters. As the assertions grow wilder, kids will question the nonsense and laugh uncontrollably. This playful book invites young readers to challenge what they hear and see, making it a perfect choice for a fun and interactive storytime.
This clever companion to This Is a Ball and Did You Take the B from My _ook? is the perfect read-aloud for the giggling masses who love Hervé Tullet’s Press Here, Lane Smith’s It’s a Book!, and BJ Novak’s The Book With No Pictures. The Books That Drive Kids CRAZY! series offers parents, teachers, and storytellers a hilarious script for fun reading time with children. In book 3, This Book Is Red, something is clearly bonkers when the narrator insists that frogs and penguins are obviously the same color as lobsters–and the claims get more outrageous from there. What is up with this nonsense? Kids will demand to know–and all readers will be howling with laughter all along the way. With strikingly simple text and art, Books That Drive Kids CRAZY! are ideal picks for emergent readers.
