Book Reviews of Let's Do Nothing!
Book Review: If you like Pixar movies you will like this book
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't believe this is a bargain book--the artwork is beautiful and the book is a nice, big size, conducive to reading to a score of children at once. The story actually begins on the inside of the hardcover before the first page--there is no page wasted in this book. I was intrigued by the premise so I checked it out at the library but after renewing three times we had to return it. This book is laugh out loud funny--I was wondering why the author seemed so familiar, but then while watching The Incredibles I saw his name in the credits as lead animator; he has had a hand in every Pixar movie we own. After going crazy buying books the first few years my kids were born I have had to become a more discerning buyer (we live in Brooklyn and space is a premium); now that it is on sale I will add it to our library. My kids are aged 29 months and 5 years old, but I think this book would play for ages 3 to 7 best. My husband (NOT a reader) loves the artwork and gets a kick out of reading it (at least he did the first one-hundred times). We also like Pssst! It has the same kind of cool artwork, and the story is hilarious.
Summary of Let's Do Nothing!
Don?t move! A master of animation explores the elusive art of doing nothing in this comical tale of two very active imaginations.Frankie and Sal have already played every sport and board game invented, baked and eaten batches of cookies, and painted a zillion pictures. What?s left to do? Nothing! Ten seconds of nothing! Can they do it? Can they act like stone statues in the park? Can they simply hold their breath and not blink an eye? With a wink to the reader and a command of visual humor, feature film animator Tony Fucile demonstrates the Zen-like art of doing nothing...oops! Couldn?t do it!
