Emperor of Absurdia Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Cute, quirky illustrations with lots of hidden things for the kids to spot and plays on words for the adults. Fun book. "

" I enjoyed this book! I thought it was really cute! It was just right for M to understand. "

" THe pictures are great, but I did not really like the story. "

" I just ADORE this book. The art is just bizare enough and the story just abstract enough to keep me interested. My 1 year old niece was very interested and really paid attention. This is the first Chriss Riddell book that I remember reading, and it will not be my last! "

" Author/Illustrator books are always my favorites. Riddell is fantastical yet warm with his prose and his drawings. I enjoyed the Ottoline series with Kate and wanted to read his other works. Well worth it. A sweet read aloud. "

" Bizarre story that stretches the imagination, with fun, colorful illustrations. "

" A fun little dream book. Fantastical illustrations culminate in a not-unexpected ending, but ok. "

" Just a beautiful, funky book. Our kids really loved it. We checked it out of the library so many times. "

" The boys and I love this book and Riddell's illustrations are fantastic. "

" Great artwork, bizarre story. "

" I love Chris Riddell's illustrations. In this book he marries the oddities of Suess with the darker tones of Maurice Sendak. Not altogether successfully. But still a nicely illustrated book with lots of imagination and children should relate to the theme of getting dressed. "

" Hmm. I enjoyed it, but I'm not sure how much young kid appeal it has. I know I would have liked it as a K or 1st grader, as the illustrations are full of detail to pore over. "

" "oz-like creatures, dream, fantasy picture book, author of the edge chronicles, about a pre-schooler but for older audience" "

" Love the illustrations! Good read-a-loud "

" Absurd and full of imagination. "

" I love books of pure imagination and dreams. A boy goes looking for his scarf through his dream world. Creative and beautiful but will only be right for a child who understand fantasy. Ages 5+ "

" This is a wildly fantastic tale, highly reminiscent of Maurice Sendak's In the Night Kitchen. The colors are soothing and the illustrations are comical and alien, with a twist at the end that is both funny and ironic, which explains a lot. "

" This book is completely bizarre, but we loved it the illustrations are fabulous! "

" I just love the pictures in this book plus it was a cute story! "
