From New York Times bestselling author Mac Barnett and Geisel Award-winning illustrator Greg Pizzoli, an uproarious early reader series about a mischievous rabbit, a cranky old lady, and a lovable dog.
Meet Jack: He lives in a tree house. His interests include snacks, petty theft, and lipstick graffiti. Jack also loves his friends, he just has a funny way of showing it sometimes . . .
A perfect read-aloud with snappy, rhythmic text, this series will bridge the gap between picture books and chapter books and fill the Elephant-and-Piggie-shaped hole in young readers' hearts.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this promising beginning-reader series opener, Barnett and Pizzoli introduce a mischievous rabbit named Jack, a lady named "the Lady," and a dog named Rex. In the first of three stories, Jack "comes down from his tree to make a friend," then steals the Lady's purse and goes wild with her lipstick ("Bad Jack!... Jack, give her bag back"). "Rex! Why are your lips red? Your lips are bright red!" writes Barnett in the second tale, simultaneously using and poking fun at repetitive early reader language. Given Jack's lipstick-powered vandalism, readers will guess that the Lady's house shown in the third tale "Here are her white walls. Here is her nice art" won't stay pristine for long. Barnett works wonders with a limited vocabulary, packing the stories with humor, tension and admonishments of Jack. Pizzoli's scruffy-edged, emotive cartoons are just as funny, and he carries the comedy into drawing lessons and closing endpapers. Yep, more lipstick is involved. Available simultaneously: Jack Blasts Off! Ages 4 8.
