Every family has its special aunt: the cool aunt, the wacky aunt, the
scary aunt. But this family has ALL THE AUNTS.
Shhh, listen. Do you hear that?
Oh no. Oh dear. Oh . . . my . . . godmother.
They've traveled on planes, in taxis, and across state lines. And now
they're here at the doorstep, a cheesy gift in one hand, the other
poised for a pinch on the cheek.
IT'S THE AUNTS! THE AUNTS ARE HERE.
One girl's all-too-recognizable experience--a visit from a troupe of
overwhelming and overly enthusiastic relations--escalates to new heights
of chaos, absurdity, and delight in a laugh-out-loud take on family
reunions. Written with signature humor by Adam Rex and illustrated by
Lian Cho, this picture book is a celebration of the universal and
endearing strangeness of family.
MULTIGENERATIONAL FAMILY SHENANIGANS: The antics of our silliest family
members are never not funny. This uniquely hilarious and authentic
observation of aunts and uncles sets this book apart from other sweet
family-based stories, which tend to take a more sentimental approach.
LAUGH-OUT-LOUD FAMILY FUN: This book provides a truly different kind of
lightheartedness and is perfect for those who love Your Baby's First
Word Will Be DADA and Goodnight Already. Any family can enjoy and
bond over the common experience this book speaks to so humorously.
GREAT READ-ALOUD: This book's irrepressible rhythm and its witty
observations make it perfect for family read-alouds or library reading
circles.
BELOVED AUTHOR: Adam Rex books are beloved by librarians, booksellers,
and readers of all ages. He is the creator of many modern classics,
including School's First Day of School, Frankenstein Makes a
Sandwich, and The Legend of Rock Paper Scissors.
FUN FOR KIDS: Even for families with normal aunts or no aunts at all,
the quirky situations this character faces, and the ways her aunts save
the day, will delight any child reader.
