Description

"A book as sweet as the candy that fills its pages." - Kirkus Reviews In this delightfully illustrated picture book, readers explore the original FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) as four children imagine what wild, zany, and impossible adventures the adults in their lives must surely get up to when they are not with them. "A book as sweet as the candy that fills its pages." - Kirkus Reviews In this delightfully illustrated picture book, readers explore the original FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) as four children imagine what wild, zany, and impossible adventures the adults in their lives must surely get up to when they are not with them. Four different children from three different families ponder what the adults in their lives do during the day. Are they jumping on trampolines Are they eating cake and ice cream while riding birthday ponies Are they eating candy with other adults After a series of hilariously illustrated and wildly imaginative scenarios, readers learn an important lesson- The adults who love them think about them constantly and are most definitely, certainly, ABSOLUTELY . . . not eating candy without them. Or are they

Reviews

"Childhood is a time fraught with questions: Why is the sky blue Why is grass green What do grown-ups do when kids arent aroundIn this whimsical flight of fancy, four childrendiverse in racial presentation and family typeseek answers to questions of their own. The childrens initial questions revolve around how the adults behave at home and work when the children are not present. They ask: What do you do without me and Do all the rules still apply when Im not home and Do you tell other people what to doa question hilariously paired with an image of one childs mom telling a man not to pick his nose. The next round of questions express concern that the grown-ups are having childlike fun without them, including the obvious query, Do you go to fancy parties with ice cream, cake, and ponies This ultimately leads to the most important question of all: ARE YOU EATING CANDY WITHOUTME!! The playful illustrations are bright and appropriately candy-colored. They vary among busy but never overwhelming full-bleed, double-page spreads and large comic-booklike panels incorporating images, text, and speech bubbles. The font is large, which makes it excellent for trailing with a finger for a read-along. Inviting both conversation and giggles, this tale will work well as a lap read or bedtime book.

A book as sweet as the candy that fills its pages." - Kirkus Reviews
