A Bucket of Questions written and illustrated by Tim Fite - NO

A Bucket of Questions written and illustrated by Tim Fite. PICTURE BOOK. Atheneum Books for Young Readers (Simon &  Schuster), 2023. $19. 9781665918312

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) – NO

AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW

The author asks a series of questions, but doesn't give any concrete answers. It’s silly and superfluous, but might only appeal to a small percentage of your readers. 

It's a lot of nonsense, but there is a sort of visual narrative as each illustration builds on the last. I personally was overwhelmed by the chaotic nature of the illustrations and put off by the question/answer format of the story. It might catch the attention of a certain type of quirky kid, but I think most readers wouldn't invest the time in it.
