Description
From Handsel and Gretel nibbling on a house made of finger food to Handerella trying to win over the handsome Finger Prints Knuckleheads is hands down fun! Earburt and Toeper give it two thumbs up! The combination of Joan Holub's pun-filled humor and Michael Slack's on-the-nose pictures make this a must-read for all ages.By M. B. Wilkes (Massachusetts)
Oh, this book is funny. I love a good pun, and the word play in this crackerjack kids book is chock full of silliness and fun. And the jokes are not just in the text! The illustrations tell jokes too, and the diligent peruser of this book will find visually-based giggles on each page that he/she might have missed before.
Knuckleheads is a collection of fractured fairy tales that features hands(and fingers and noses and toes-es) as the stars of four fables that are linked by a evil green hand-Witch, who makes her way though the book as part of her escape from justice(she was caught red-handed, trying to roast Handsel and Gretel). The Witch, who makes her debut with a brass knuckle and a house made of finger foods, then shows up in a footed disguise in Handerella. After her plans are tripped up for matching one of the step sisters with the Prince(Finger Prints-ha!), she then makes a short appearance in Thumbelina, and then gets her diva on as the Queen in Nose White.
A bit of knowledge about the original fairy tales is helpful(my three year old was a bit lost with many of the jokes), so I would suggest this book for anyone over 5 years old. That said, my son DID think that the pictures were funny, and he liked the book overall, perhaps because I was reading it with my "funny book voice" and laughing at it myself. I am sure that comparisons to the The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales and Squids Will Be Squids will be made with Knuckleheads, and deservedly so in the best possible way: these books(and their authors/illustrators) do not write down to children. They create unique and challenging books that are witty and silly and wonderfully fun to read. Knuckleheads stands alone in how thoroughly the joke is maintained throughout the read: I don't think that there is a hand pun that is left unheralded in this book. Part of the fun is wondering how another pun can be squeezed in to the story. And it can, dear reader, handily.
