by Jenny Offill (Children's New Picture books) (E Offill)(2011)
For ages 4-8 years
This is a book by the same author who brought us 17 Things I'm Not Allowed To Do Anymore. If you read that one, you know how funny it was. This book continues in the same way and is just as funny. We follow the same curious girl we followed in the first book, only this time she's doing science experiments. She comes up with a question, lists what you'll need, finds the hypothesis, and then there is "what happened."
Her first experiment is to find out if one can survive on snowballs and ketchup all winter. She also seeks to find if a washing machine can wash dishes, or if stinky cheese can be made to smell better with perfume, and if yodelling makes the time go faster. The illustrations are a fun combination of photographs and drawing that really add to the humor of the book. It is as funny to look at as it is to read.
Her experiments are hilarious and go hilariously wrong. You'll have to read it yourself to find out the results. Kids will be tickled by her questions and results. Just don't try it at home.-sc-
