Smash by Adam Schafer and Noel Tuazon - OPTIONAL

Smash
by Adam Schafer, illustrated by Noel Tuazon
. PICTURE BOOK. Red Deer (Fitzhenry/Whiteside), 2022. $20. 9780889956353 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

A child likes to smash stuff. It's loud and exciting. He can't seem to do anything else. He can't read, write, or draw and he's very frustrated, but then, he discovers the joy of building things! 

Hmm - I'm very happy the child found a different way to channel his energy because breaking everything was a problem. Expressive illustrations and limited text combine for a fun easy read. I liked that the illustrations read like a comic, and I hope the reader takes away the joy of building rather than the excitement of smashing.
