That experience changed my mind about so many things. I asked them why the door in the stage set was bent. They said, “The door is bent so someone in the balcony can see it.” It’s for the audience! Every decision is for them. Why would the turtle say, “Come stand with me”? Why would the mole yell, “This is where I like to stand”? It’s for the audience. It’s for you! The book doesn’t exist without that. A hilarious meditation on the workings of friendship, fate, shared futuristic visions, and that funny feeling you get that there’s something off somewhere, but you just can’t put your finger on it. Merging broad visual suspense with wry wit and existential silliness, celebrated picture-book creator Jon Klassen gives us a wholly original comedy for the ages.It's a classic Klassen: simple, weird, funny, expressive, and beautiful (just look at that changing sky <3): This book was a thumbs up! It was funny but I’m glad the tortoise is OK. The pictures were my favourite bit, I loved everybody’s cool hats. Als je dit boek ziet, weet je gelijk: dit is bijzonder. Geen rots te zien op het omslag, laat staan van boven. Wel in letters in de titel. Geen felle kleuren en toch nodigt het minimalistische uit tot openen van dit dikke prentenboek. Maybe I am just easily amused, but this book had me giggling at the desk as I read it out-loud to myself. The font and text DEMAND you read it outloud, giving the turtle, armadillo and snake their own unique voices as they go through their day. Que no se entere Pennac que ya no les leo a mis hijos. La fase del acompañamiento se acabó y al final, de todos esos años sumergido en lecturas en voz alta de cuentos, libros, álbumes ilustrados, grapas y hasta un par de omnigolds de la Patrulla-X, me ha quedado una afición por la literatura infantil y juvenil y unos cuantos nombres a los que seguiré la pista en solitario.
