Originally posted on Creative Madness Mama.Full of fun and funny, this is definitely a “boy” book, but I have no doubt my preschool daughter will be in fits of laughter when we read it. She is currently as well mastering the “daredevil” tasks from eating broccoli to sleeping in her own bed (and staying there). Part of the learning process is seeing other kids with similar experiences and I am sure reading and rereading this book will be fun and beneficial to her learning things on her own. Not very colorful but still vivid and vibrant illustrations make these pages full.
Praise for Kel Gilligan's Daredevil Stunt Show:
“The stunned faces on the ‘audience' as Kel successfully chews and swallows broccoli are hilarious, and their comments will inspire many giggles... the intended audience will be rolling on the floor laughing at these silly antics... Santat's illustrations, are busy, grandiose, loud, and proud, just like Kel Gilligan. They add depth and humor to the action.”
—School Library Journal
“Expect demands for multiple readings.”
—The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
“A fantasy romp destined to please preschoolers and parents alike who are faced with getting through the day-to-day tasks that at times feel insurmountable.”
