About this product
Product Information
An Entertainment Weekly Best Kids' Book When a skunk first appears in the tuxedoed man's doorway, it's a strange but possibly harmless occurrence. But then the man finds the skunk following him, and the unlikely pair embark on an increasingly frantic chase through the city, from the streets to the opera house to the fairground. What does the skunk want? It's not clear--but soon the man has bought a new house in a new neighborhood to escape the little creature's attention, only to find himself missing something... This sly, hilarious tale brings together luminaries Mac Barnett and Patrick McDonnell for the first time.

Caldecott honorees Barnett and McDonnell combine their considerable talents in this dark comedy., "Gives off a deliciously Hitchockian air of high style and deep-seated dread. . . a story that speaks to the urbane existentialist/absurdist lurking in the heart of every reader." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review "Clever visual motifs, sly storytelling, and tight pacing make this a picture book that will be enjoyed by both children and their grown-ups. " -- School Library Journal, starred review "McDonnell's graceful and simple cartoonlike illustrations mitigate the notes of paranoia and obsession in Barnett's deadpan text." -- Horn Book, starred review "A daffy yet stylish readaloud with surprising performance possibilities." -- BCCB, starred review "Adults will turn themselves inside out trying to figure it out; kids will either find the whole idea hysterical or just plain befuddling. Peculiar, perplexing, and persistent-training wheels for Samuel Beckett." -- Kirkus "Told with the seriousness of a thriller. . . Caldecott honorees Barnett and McDonnell combine their considerable talents in this dark comedy." -- Booklist, McDonnell's graceful and simple cartoonlike illustrations mitigate the notes of paranoia and obsession in Barnett's deadpan text., Gives off a deliciously Hitchockian air of high style and deep-seated dread. . . a story that speaks to the urbane existentialist/absurdist lurking in the heart of every reader., Told with the seriousness of a thriller, the red-nosed skunk's pursuit of the man-similarly clad in a black and white tux with red bow tie-will tickle readers with its escalating absurdity.... Caldecott honorees Barnett and McDonnell combine their considerable talents in this dark comedy., Clever visual motifs, sly storytelling, and tight pacing make this a picture book that will be enjoyed by both children and their grown-ups., Adults will turn themselves inside out trying to figure it out; kids will either find the whole idea hysterical or just plain befuddling. Peculiar, perplexing, and persistent-training wheels for Samuel Beckett., Praise for Count the Monkeys : "Barnett's adventure is a complete hoot in its absurdity... begs to be read aloud." ;-The Bulletin for the Center of the Children's Book, starred review."Cornell (who previously teamed up with Barnett for Mustache!) is an artist in the modern-day Disney animation tradition, effortlessly juggling funny chaos, irreverent characterizations, and visual winks and nudges. Barnett's narrator may be increasingly frustrated ("We're never going to count the monkeys!") but he also has expert comic timing... . This spot-on spoof of counting books is the perfect reward for anyone who's put in a hard day's work with numbers, big or small." ;-Publishers Weekly, starred review Praise for Chloe and the Lion : "An elaborate prank on the picture-book genre [that] comes together in playful harmony." - School Library Journal, starred reviewPraise for Extra Yarn :"Quirky and wonderful, this story quietly celebrates a child's ingenuity and her ability to change the world around her." - Booklist, starred review"Understated illustrations and prose seamlessly construct an enchanting and mysterious tale." - Publishers Weekly, starred reviewPraise for Me...

Try as he might, our narrator just can't seem to shake the skunk-"When I sped up, the skunk sped up. When I slowed, the skunk slowed"-despite dodging in and out of an opera house, a graveyard, and a carnival. . . McDonnell's graceful and simple cartoonlike illustrations mitigate the notes of paranoia and obsession in Barnett's deadpan text, particularly in their rendering of the posture, gestures, and expressions of the main characters., Barnett's (Battle Bunny) pokerfaced narration gives off a deliciously Hitchockian air of high style and deep-seated dread ("I'll admit that I began to panic. I ran past the wharf and turned down an alley. It was a dead end"), and the collaborators' refusal to wrap up with a cuddly reconciliation results in a story that speaks to the urbane existentialist/absurdist lurking in the heart of every reader.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
