This is Not That Kind of Book by Christopher Healy, illustrated by Ben Mantle. PICTURE BOOK. Random House, 2019. $18. 9780525580294.
BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
When the letter A tries to start the book, the girl in the red hooded cape tells it that this is not THAT KIND OF BOOK. But as they continue through the pages, they find a robot, a hedgehog, a banana, and more. Just what kind of book is this exactly?
Healy turns the genre-identifying picture book on its head by shaking it all up and still creating an actual story. This would be super fun to read after a genre-study unit as a way to show how a skilled author can actually shake everything up in great ways.
