(Nearly) Wordless Fun
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This picture book is executed in the style of a comic book, with multiple panels per page and exciting illustrations that cleverly play on the overlap between fantasy and reality. Two boys, busy in their backyard kiddie pool, imagine a series of perilous adventures for themselves that begin as pranks but turn into a full-fledged--and mutually supportive--expedition into a brightly colored alien world. The satisfying conclusion, which bands the once-feuding boys together against a interfering adult (seen only as a pair of hands) allows the imaginative play to conclude without being stifled. Tucked into their bunk bed on the final page, the two boys seem poised for many more such adventures to come. Another great set of illustrations from Roaring Brook.
