We are SO thrilled to have one of our favorite children's authors swing by the store this autumn! Raj Haldar is a New York Times bestselling author, and the creator of the P Is for Pterodactyl: The Worst Alphabet Book Ever, No Reading Allowed: The Worst Read-Aloud Book Ever, and the Word Travelers series (a staff fave!). And here he is with a new picture book--This Book Is Banned! Join us on September 28th at 6 PM here in the bookstore for a riotous good time!
This Book is Banned is a fun and silly take on a truly serious topic, and makes for both an entertaining read, and also a good way to start discussing what it means to censor literature, and therefore censor the existence of other people. Illustrator Julia Patton gifts us with dozens of witty details to find, and dashes of humor on every page. A young reader's delight!
This is a book about dinosaurs. No it's not. Dinosaurs are not allowed.
Oh. This is now a book about avocados! Sorry. We deleted those too.
FINE. This book is about—nope! Forbidden!
Maybe you shouldn't even try reading this book…But what could possibly be inside?
Discover just what can happen when ideas are erased instead of expressed with this hilarious picture book romp that kids (and grown-ups) will want to read over and over again.
