The Rock From the Sky by Jon Klassen - OPTIONAL

The Rock From the Sky by Jon Klassen
, 96 pages. PICTURE BOOK. Candlewick, 2021. $19. 9781536215625 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Turtle is sure that he has the best spot to stand, but Bear is not convinced – for very good reasons it turns out. 

In four vignettes, Klassen explores irony, muleheadedness, vivid imagination, and then back to irony. The humor is more sophisticated than the previous books, with the same muted color palette. Adults will be very entertained, children only marginally so.
