Stupid Questions

Philippe Corentin

Hardcover (Firefly Books, Sept. 1, 2018)

You would think it's obvious. Who hasn't heard "Well, that's a stupid question"? This inviting little book will amuse children who enjoy silliness and we don't think there is one that doesn't. Amusing illustrations of 23 scenarios pulled from real life and from, we'll call it, exaggerated real life. And what child, and adult, doesn't exaggerate from time to time? Are you in a hurry? says the person behind the bathroom door. Too sick for school? Dad asks the spotted green child. Is it too hot? Mom asks the person in the shower. You don't like it? Mom asks from underneath a plate of spaghetti. Some are possible. A few are probable. But most are definitely impossible, except in a child's imagination. So that means they are most certainly funny.
