2018 School Spending Survey Report
K-Gr 3–Creativity, imagination, and humor run wild in this story of a young protagonist thwarted by his younger sister. Despite his every effort to write a story filled with knights and treasure, she barges in, spoiling his perfect rhymes at each page turn, and pitching the story in one silly direction after the other. Frustrated at first to be sent into outer space, dropped onto a ship full of dancing pirates, and attacked by a fire-breathing armadillo, he begins to realize her contributions actually do have a rhyme and reason. In an if-you-can’t-beat-them-join-them turn, he rolls with her creativity, and they embark together on a new adventure. This is clearly Interrupting Chicken meets Harold and the Purple Crayon. Aly’s illustrations are vibrant and full of the action and energy relayed in the text.
VERDICT Funny and wildly unpredictable, this will be a read-aloud hit. Recommended for all picture book collections.
