Beskrivning

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 by Howard Pearlstein in the voice of an oblivious narrator who explains why this book is not for you.Are 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.)

Mer om författaren

Howard Pearlstein is the author of three picture books and is an advertising creative director who has worked on some of the world’s most popular brands, including Toyota, Verizon, and Mitsubishi. A California native, Howard now lives in Birmingham, Alabama, with his wife, Debi. Howard has three daughters: Amanda, Jacquie, and Emily, who live across the country, and one dog, Maeby, who still lives at home. Susanna Covelli was born in a small town in Piedmont, Italy, earned an MA in architecture, and followed her passion for art and decided to attend a specialization course in both traditional and digital illustration at Scuola Internazionale di Comics in Turin. Her art expresses her own imagination and inspiration from nature, and she has always been attracted by sinuous shapes, baroque style, and out-of-the-ordinary perspectives.

Recensioner i media

This Book Is Not For You by Howard Pearlstein and Susanna Covelli is absolutely adorable!Covelli's illustrations of the magical happenings behind the author's back are vivid and endearing, as are the dog's reactions to them. As the book progresses, the book gets more congested with the characters that are not supposed to be there, with wonderful results.The conclusion, with the author's admission of the intended recipient of the book, is heartwarming in both text and illustrations.This IS definitely the book for all ages to enjoy.I am delighted to have received an ARC of #ThisBookIsNotForYou from #FamiliusBooks and #NetGalley.
