Pretty Ugly by David Sedaris and Ian Falconer is coming out pretty soon, on February 27! Now, we think this book is pretty spectacular, but don't take our word for it. Check out the reviews—Publishers Weekly, Kirkus (with a star), and this rave from School Library Journal’s Betsy Bird:
“It’s been a long time since a picture book shocked me. Since it made me wake up and look around frantically and say aloud, ‘What just happened?!?’ [...] This is a book with hints of William Steig and Quentin Blake and Roald Dahl. Sedaris has given us a joke at the end of this book that’s going to make the kids you read this story to (and make sure it’s a group of kids for maximum effectiveness) scream and laugh all at the same time. It’s gonna blow their little freakin’ minds and they will LOVE YOU for grossing them out in this way.”
This is one of our most anticipated titles of the year—and it's not just us! Kirkus, Amazon, and BookPage have all put in on their most anticipated books list. That's pretty...anticipatory? That doesn't sound quite right. Let's go with “PRETTY AWESOME!”
