Perfect Picture Book Friday
The Great Thanksgiving Escape (Candlewick, 2017) by Mark Fearing is so hilarious. (I can’t believe I’ve never posted about it before!)
Gavin expects a boring day, but when cousin Rhonda suggests they escape the toddlers to the swing set in the backyard, the hilarity ensues.
I love this view of a Thanksgiving gathering from the point of view of a kid. “Great wall of butts,” anyone?
Mark is an author/illustrator who sometimes illustrates others books and sometimes writes and illustrates his own. See his books here. See what else he does here and read about Mark here. He’s also a good speaker, so if you can, attend an event where he’s talking.
