review 1: Society is brought to it's exhausted knees when a bulletin cancelling bedtime, written by two young children, ends up being printed by a newspaper. Word is further spread through emails, social media, and word-of-mouth. Somewhat of a chicken little for the modern age, but with a lighter touch. I laughed several times at the clever story line and illustrations. Great book for kids who like to laugh at adults and adults who can laugh at themselves.
review 2: The story is a fun exploration of a what-if? idea. I kept checking the front matter because these illustrations have the feel of having been a cartoon or an animation...a little like the 2D Rankin-Bass animations from my childhood. I wonder if an elementary school classroom would want to read this and di... morescuss the media and the reliability of the transmission of information? One thing I did appreciate was the wide range of media portrayed in the text and illustrations--from handwritten-with-crayon notices to print newspapers to tincan phones to TV news to texting w/phones and reading on tablets. (The TVs and computer monitors are flatscreens, too.) less
