I literally Tripped over This Amazing Children’s Book:
Are the illustrations killing you? I nearly had a coronary when I looked through the pages!
They Floored me? Made me go…huh?
The warped circular images force you to search and re-search through each image because you are convinced you might have missed something. It’s a cross between Escher and an Ispy book! I am so excited to see how my little boy will react to the pages of this book? Talk about the best Christmas present for a little kid!
Here’s my favorite line from the book….
“While Uncle Chuck’s Cow Whispered Meow.”
But you remembered you just closed your eyes
And turned off your sight,
And when dreams come
They come in the middle of the night.
Can you so totally hear my 4yrold chanting that last bit?!
I can.
DON’T FORGET THE ICE CREAM??
I say… don’t forget your creditcard. This book is only $13.99!
Steve Ouch is the real person behind the book and you can find his brand spankin’ new (yes, I’m jealous) wordpress blog here, and follow him on twitter here, and of course GET THE BOOK here! Steve did not ask me to review his awesome book, I pretty much forced him to let me. He did however follow me on twitter, and that’s cool right? (Do you think he’ll mind if I ask him to sign my copy?)
UPDATE::::: Steve said yes he will sign my copy, and he said the book will be released in one day! Whoop!

Too funny!Isn’t it weird what we will or won’t do for money?Yeah, I blog anyway, but for some reason, it makes me feel weird to do ads. Maybe I’ll get over it one day.

Wow! This book looks great, except that I feel like I should be drunk when looking at it 🙂 LOLNo seriously, though it’s a little “crazy” it looks like so much fun! I love the images and the way he integrates them within the illustration. Great review!Oh, and thanks for the nice words on my/your Wonder Woman Award. I like to think I’m funny sometimes, but most of the time I think people assume I’m just weird! LOLSee you night on GNO!

That is a crazy book. I am really not a kid’s book kind of person, and sometimes I dread “story time” around here, but this book looks like it might not be such a drag.
