Review: It's Disobedience Day!

7/3/2019

0 Comments

 
​What better way to commemorate Disobedience Day than read a book that I hold dear in my heart: 

TITLE: BAD GUY
AUTHOR: Hannah Barnaby
ILLUSTRATOR: Mike Yamada
PUBLISHER: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers/2017
OPENING LINES: 
I am a bad guy.
Alice runs when she sees me coming.
Mom calls me Sweetie Pie and Buddy Bear. But I am not those things. 
I am bad.
Picture
Some books are about sweet or cute characters who want to make friends or get over some sort of flaw. This is not one of them. This one is about a little boy who makes no apologies for who he is. And he is bad. He dons a devilish grin while he dreams up his next plan to torture his sister, Alice. While you might feel sorry for Alice, you have to admire his creativity. But, don’t worry. Alice shows she can handle herself quite well. This book has sibling rivalry and buried treasure and space espionage and wild west shenanigans and evil plots galore. Be sure to check out all the hidden gems in the art. I’m a sucker for a book with storyline told in the art that’s not in the text, as well as one with an image on cover that’s different than the dust jacket, and this book has both. This book doesn’t disappoint!
