Description

In this hilarious and charming read-aloud, readers follow an odd duo as their normal day turns into a GRAPE day! Two friends encounter what seems to be a grape. It's ordinarily grape-shaped, grape-colored, and anyone would agree: it is undeniably a grape. But the grapes don't stop there-or do they One of our heroes is sure that everything else they see throughout the day, from bananas to giraffes, is also a grape. As the day grows more absurd, nothing their reasonable friend says will convince them otherwise. Filled with silly puns, Everything is Grape! is a whimsical ride into a world where grapes are indeed what you least expect them to be.

Reviews

"A silly book--in the best way--and it's a subtly smart book, too. . . . It's a lesson in perspective and wordplay, in the flexibility of language beyond simple puns, that is effective and poetic. Tran's illustrations enhance the happy-go-lucky tone with incredibly inviting characters and colorful settings." --Booklist

"Cozy, charming . . . A quirky tale full of totally grape puns." --Kirkus

"While the vine of friendship can be stretched to the breaking point, this offbeat work suggests, its resilience is often graper than we think." --Publishers Weekly
