Bliv medlem af LibraryThing for at finde ud af, om du vil kunne lide denne bog. Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. Dan Santat's unique and beautiful illustrations make this yet another favorite. In this story, a little boy imagines all sorts of crazy images from the past and the future wile on a long road trip to his grandmother's house. This book reminds readers to enjoy the moment. Can be used in history lessons on some of the images used in the book. A very different style of book with this one. There are turns you never saw coming, literally turning the book upside down. As you turn the book more and more you fall more in love with the story and get engulfed with its trueness. A child's mind can them across worlds, but only if you let it like here. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

A little boy sits in the backseat, next to a wrapped present for Grandma, but his bright, excited expression turns to boredom and eventually grumpiness as the car trip drags on and on.
The question "But what happens when your brain becomes TOO bored?" loops around a double page spread, requiring the reader to rotate the book 180 degrees and continue turning the pages in the opposite direction. The boy's imagination takes over and the car is shown in different settings: a pirate ship, a joust, ancient Egypt, and finally ("it feels like a million years") the age of dinosaurs. Another 180 page turn, and we're in the future...then finally... "We're here!"
Although the message is to "sit back and enjoy the ride" and "there's no greater gift than the present" (this text is over an illustration of the boy hugging his grandma after handing over the gift), the final spread is the boy surrounded by relatives, having his cheek pinched, asking, "Can we go now?"
Funny - and a must-read before a road trip! ( )
