About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling overwhelmed by chaotic environments or struggling to stay patient when things do not go according to plan. This madcap adventure follows Mr. Snore, a polite violinist who finds himself in an increasingly absurd battle to protect a wedding cake from a parade of hungry, unexpected animals. Through the lens of slapstick humor and escalating stakes, the story highlights the virtues of responsibility and perseverance in the face of total silliness. Appropriate for children ages 4 to 8, this book is an excellent choice for parents looking to validate a child's feelings of frustration while modeling how to keep a cool head. While Mr. Snore deals with beavers, bats, and a hungry dodo, children will learn that even when a situation feels out of control, doing your best is what counts. It is a fantastic tool for shifting a child's mood from grumpy to giggly through its clever use of physical comedy and repetitive story beats.
