About the Book

In this hilarious read-aloud featuring robots, fire trucks, and pirates, meet an older sister who's more than happy to fill her little brother in on all he missed while he was napping. Since none of the other neighborhood kids had to nap, they came over. Then came the robots, and of course the astronauts. It was tons of fun . . . and luckily for the boy (right?!), he slept through it all! Here's a picture book that is sure to ring true in every family with more than one child. With minimal text and raucous illustrations, this laugh-out-loud, spot-on picture book is also a perfect portrait of a mischievous kid at her imaginative best.

About the Author :

Barry Blitt's illustrations frequently appear on the cover of the New Yorker and have also graced the pages of Vanity Fair, the New York Times, Child magazine, and Entertainment Weekly.

Review :
"[Offill's] channeling of sibling snark is a thing of beauty. Blitt mischievously and masterfully choreographs the neverending festivities [...] His watercolors will reward close-reading visual joke connoisseurs." -- Publishers Weekly starred review "The brazen over-the-topness leavens the taunting with pure ridiculousness, but there's still enough bite to make this absolutely hilarious, especially to older sibs." -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books starred review "Offill must've had some sibling rivalry as a child, because she knows just how to dole out exquisite torture with an insidious, offhand tone. Blitt makes for the perfect coconspirator, contrasting the kids' almost-maniacal partying with the napping child's big-headed, about-to-blubber innocence. Simply brutal! And quite funny." - Booklist [Offill s] channeling of sibling snark is a thing of beauty.
