Overview
Young children who love adventure will revel in the outstanding illustrations of this imaginative journey, which fall somewhere between fine art and graphic novel
A young boy’s simple answers to his mother’s inquiries at bedtime introduce the reader to his recollection of his ordinary day. Q: “How are you doing?” A: “Good.” Q: “What was your day like?”: A: “You know, same old thing.” Q: “What did you do today?” A: “Nothing.” Far from being ‘nothing,’ our protagonist takes us on several adventures that walk the line between real and imagined, as we discover that his version of ‘nothing’ is more of a robust something than anything we or his mom could have imagined.
Reviews
"This gorgeously illustrated, inventive book is sure to entrance young readers. Creatures from mythology break the fourth wall (or page) in this surrealistic guide …beautiful, painterly illustrations and wild tessellated backgrounds offer details for both younger lap readers and older independent ones." —Kirkus Reviews
"It truly is marvelous to see the world through the eyes of a child, especially when they have so little to say, yet what goes on in their mind's eye is something that would put the greatest scriptwriters to shame. I have reserved a special place on my home bookshelf for Michael Molinet's tale."– Rosie Malezer for Readers’ Favorite 5 Stars
"A delightful representation of a story that it is without comparison. Reading it and seeing it come to life is like trying to taste a symphony or smell a memory from Christmas twenty-five years ago. Nothing is a ride for all your senses." – Erin Nicole Cochran for Readers’ Favorite 5 Stars
"The question/answer approach between mother and son appears simple enough, the pictures tell a different story…the young boy is opening up a world of possibilities of what could, or did, happen in the course of his day…will inspire young readers to follow their imaginations and create real and imaginary experiences."
