Bøger af Howard Pearlstein

A book wants to be read, it really does, but it has a problem. It''s feeling shy. It''s also worried that the reader will find it silly or, worse, boring. So the book recommends that the reader choose a different book, because surely another book will be better. But what if the reader keeps going?

Play is the key to learning. The Read + Play series of books harnesses the power of literature through the innovation of play.

CBC Hot of The Press August 2024 TitleWith dynamic illustrations by Susanna Covelli that hilariously contradict the story, This Book Is Not for You is told hilariously by Howard Pearlstein in the voice of an oblivious narrator who explains why this book is not for youAre you a kid?Are you reading this book?If so, drop it like a hot potato.Seriously, skipper.This book is not for you.Packed with everything a kid could never want?nothing funny, gross, cool, cute, or silly?this picture book is really not for you. There definitely aren't any monsters or ninjas, and you can forget about aliens. You probably won't even like this story. But you're going to read it anyway, aren't you?The narrator, a curmudgeonly man with an impressive mustache, is delightfully unaware of the funny, gross, cool, cute, and silly things happening around him and his anxious dog (who is very aware). Whenever the narrator speaks, monsters, aliens, and all the things that a kid would like jump off the page. So if this book is not for you, who is it for? (The answer is absolutely not at the end.)
