"You know what?"
"What?"
"Chicken butt "
The classic schoolyard joke has been recast as an irreverent picture book, with call-and-response parts for parent and child. The word repetition in Erica S. Perl's text, and wonderfully comic illustrations by beloved artist Henry Cole, make this a particularly inviting book for new readers, as does the opportunity to "trick" a parent or other adult into participating in a very silly joke. The humor builds to a surprising and satisfying conclusion. Warning: Kids will want to read this one over and over and over again "An unhinged piece of slap-happy rhyming...rocket-propelled artwork...the romp is a powerful piece of cacophony, more frenetic by the moment."--"Kirkus Reviews"

Industry Reviews

On one hand, this is an utter goofball of a book, an unhinged piece of slap-happy rhyming. On the other, it is a challenge to engage. It depends on the reader's mood. If that mood is like the father here - preoccupied, disconnected, maybe a bit grumpy - it could probably use this type of elevation. "You know what?" asks a boy. "What?" says his dad, slouching behind the newspaper. "CHICKEN BUTT!" hollers the boy, which gets his dad's attention. "You know why?" "Why?" "CHICKEN THIGH!" Off the book goes, very merrily energetic, served on a plate of Cole's rocket-propelled artwork (which features gleeful close-ups of the chicken anatomy in question). Read as a duet, the romp is a powerful piece of cacophony, more frenetic by the moment, which the book's targeted age group will allow for only at the upper end - so some rapid voice-flipping will be necessary. Then again, if an adult reader's mood is already fine, this uber-farce may send that adult, like this book's dad, round the bend, where a drink should be waiting.
