This Is Not That Kind of Book

This Is Not That Kind of Book

by Christopher Healy, Ben Mantle 

Published October 15th 2019

Hardcover, 32 pages

by Random House Books for Young Readers

Goodreads * Amazon (ad)

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! 

This has become my two year old’s go to book. She loves to sit down and read it aloud. There is a jumble of all kinds of characters: fairy tale, robot, alphabet. Our favorite is the hedgehog at school. While there is not continuity, or a linear message, my child loved it. In then end, all work together.
