Description de l’éditeur
Hilarious and educational, Boogers Are Blessings will have your child counting and giggling along with its mischievous host, whose mission is to inform the world of all of the glorious qualities of boogers. This little boy knows the importance of counting his blessings, and he does so-in a way that only little boys can. Along with teaching your child to count from one to ten, he reminds us that each and every piece of God's creation is wonderful-even the slimy ones.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Picking 10 reasons why boogers are wonderful is not hard for first-time author (and 10-year-old) McDermott, who co-authored this picture book with his mother. The book's protagonist flaunts a bright yellow tee shirt with a box of tissues crossed out as he lauds the joys of nose-picking. "Boogers are blessings,/ 'Cause, well, they're just fun!" he proclaims. "They make great little snacks,/ When there's no time to cook./ They're handy placeholders/ When you're reading a book." Ross (Hey! That's Not What the Bible Says!) pictures the hero donning a spelunker's helmet to play up the pun of "digging for gold" and sporting a cape as he quips, "They're the only costume you need/ To play the Boogernator." In the corner of each spread, snot-tipped fingers mark each blessing, one to 10. The campy cartoon illustrations match the text for blithe gross-out value, as when the hero squirrels away his green treasures on his bedstead, marked for each day of the week ("You can eat some now/ Or save some for later"). The title may appeal to those looking for an irreverent read, but others may prefer a tissue. Ages 4-8
