Best title and concept.Not a huge fan of the art. Imaginative, funny, and fun!ĭave: 3.5 stars. I like the humor in this 'legendary' story and I like how they each get to win and how the only ones that they can't beat are the 'legendary' ones. I like the line, 'Scissors versus Dinosaur-shaped Chicken Nuggets' and how every character fights bizarre things. Everyone rates each book and adds a comment and it may (or may not) affect my overall rating. It's kind of a weird premise and not something I'd want to read again.Įach year my family reads all the Goodreads-award-nominated picture books, and we have been doing this for years. Why are these household items just hanging around challenging each other to duels? Their greatest drive it to have some worthy opponent to beat them? WHY? It's unclear whether each item is actually harming the other or whether it's in good fun, and I would have expected that differentiation to come through clearer. But ultimately, the whole premise is kind of inexplicable. Kids will love the term 'fuzzy butt'is being read out loud. Peaches do look like fuzzy butts! Adults will recognize the butt emoji thing and be tickled. Yes, there were funny lines-often meant for the adult readers. This book was unfocused, meandering, too long, inexplicable, the tone is aggressive/cruel, and did not ring true to me as kid-friendly. Unfortunately I almost could not get through a full read-aloud I was so frustrated. I'm surprised this book is getting so much love! I had high expectations, of course-Drew Daywalt and Adam Rex is like my dream team.
