Love, Loss, and Slapstick,
This review is from: Potch & Polly (Hardcover)
"When Potch was born, there was an angel with a clown's face hovering over the bed. So Potch came into the world laughing..." He was a happy kid, who turned into an even happier adult. Then one night he met the not so lovely, Polly Pumpernickel, at a masquerade ball. "He was so smitten, he did a double backflip. A moment later the two were dancing... What an evening! The crowd stared as the pair continued to prance and pirouette, to weave and whirl. Polly thought Potch might be the daffy darling of her daily dreams, the one missing piece of her pie. Unfortunately, Potch's timing was off when he tossed the long and lanky Polly into the air, and she landed, with a huge splash, in the fountain. Now, how was he going to win back his one and only, true love..... William Steig's witty and engaging text is rich in tongue twisting alliteration, wordplay and wry humor. But it's Jon Agee's bold, bright, and busy cartoon illustrations, filled with playful and hilarious slapstick scenes and marvelous sound effects, that really steal the show. Kids will revel in all the outrageous dating catastrophes as they linger and explore each entertaining page. With a happily-ever-after ending to set everything right, Potch & Polly is a captivating, fun-filled, manic romp that begs to be read aloud and shared, and is sure to become an instant favorite at your house.
