Phooey!
It’s summer. And in theory, summer is a wonderful time to merely relax.
But children don’t relax. If you have kids, you know what I’m talking about.
They fidget. They squirm. They can’t find anything to do.
And thus kicks off Marc Rosenthal’s wonderfully amusing Phooey! A child kicks an old can, proclaiming emphatically, “Nothing ever happens around here!”
But that can? It hits a cat, knocking it out of a tree - right in front of a dog who is pretty excited to see the cat. The dog proceeds to chase the cat into the street and the zoo… And, well you get the picture. A series of events are put into motion that upend the idea that “nothing ever happens around here”
It’s a silly picture book filled with funny noises, brightly illustrated havoc and fantastic adventures. A fun read for summer - or any time!
