Leave Me Alone!

"Parents and older siblings alike will identify immediately with this folktale-esque story about the trials of a grandmother who just wants a little time to herself to knit. The interruptions, however, rapidly become loopier and loopier. Whether it’s overeager children, peckish mountain goats or curious moon men, the old woman’s rapidly disintegrating patience is matched only by author Vera Brosgol’s hilarious art. This book reads aloud beautifully to large groups, and should have them rolling in the aisles. Funny is hard; Brosgol makes it look easy. (For ages 4 to 6)"
