Title: You Can Never Find a Rickshaw When It Monsoons: The World on One Cartoon a Day
Author: Willems, Mo
Publisher: Hyperion Books for Children
Comments I love Mo Willems. This was written long before Pigeon or Knuffle Bunny. This was even before Sheep in the City or Sesame Street. It is exactly as it says a cartoon a day as he traveled around the world. I am sure he enjoys it as a look back at that time in his life. I enjoyed it as a way for me to travel around the world without leaving my comfy couch. This isn’t the type of book you just sit down and read. Some of it requires some thought while other parts you will never understand. I like the drawings and the short comments about the day. I haven’t read anything like it in the past, and if it was another author I might have missed a chance to discover a different genre of books. Give it a try if you are looking for something unusual.
