Oh No, the Aunts Are Here by Adam Rex and Lian Cho
. PICTURE BOOK. Chronicle, May 2023. $17. 9781797207940 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

You are quietly minding your business, but oh no – the aunts have arrived! They sweep into your life like a tornado and have definite plans to interrupt your life. Everything they do seems to be maximumly annoying. Then danger arrives and the aunts sweep in to save the day.

At first a very silly and funny, and not unexpected ode to aunts (think Geico aunts ad) until something very unexpected happens – laugh out loud funny. Cute end papers of t-shirts as ode to aunts. I am a bit unsure how popular it will – except among the aunt crowd.
