    About This Is Not That Kind of Book

    This is a book that answers all the kids who have ever posed the question What kind of book is it?

    This clever alphabet book… Wait, that’s not right. This original fairy tale… Nope. Mystery? Joke book? Superhero story? Pirate adventure? This delightful mash-up features every kind of character found in the picture-book universe–all in one book. Just when the reader is convinced the story is going in one direction, it spins off in another.

    Ever-changing illustrations keep pace with the rapid reversals, and the setting shifts with nearly every turn of the page. Truly inventive, here’s a picture book that can be anything you want it to be!

    Praise

    “Cleverly meta and totally fun, with a spoonful of (almost tongue-in-cheek) morals thrown in.” —Kirkus Reviews

    “Children may enjoy the playful art with characters jumping in and out of the story, and they may look at literary genres with fresh eyes.”  —Bulletin
