This is a picture book quite different from most. It doesn’t tell a story … but it sows the seeds of many many potential stories. Those seeds just need a child’s imagination to work on them, maybe within a group, in order to grow and flourish. I wonder what those stories will be?
Sixteen spreads of bold collage and print and drawn images by Christian Robinson work with twenty questions set by Mac Barnett.
Do questions have to have answers? That’s up to you. Is there a right answer? That’s up to you. Might there be multiple answers, surprising answers, unlikely answers? Again, up to you.
Perfect for any imaginative child.

Interesting illustrations, Pippa, and a great sense of colour, though I'm still wondering which lady just robbed a bank. Am I missing a clue, or making up my own ideas here? Good choice!
The one in headscarf, sunglasses, and clutching a bulging bag looks suspicious to me, but my 4 year old grandson is convinced its the police lady who is the robber!
The sunglasses looked suspicious to me too, Pippa. That's a worrying lack of faith in Law And Order in one so young! (On the other hand the cop does have transport?)
