DON’T SPLASH GRANDPA!
KIRKUS REVIEWS says:
Splashy storytime fun!
Energetic language matches the artwork beat for beat, immersing readers in the thrills of a gently mischievous summer day; little ones will eagerly call out the titular refrain each time—and giggle with glee at the satisfying twist that concludes the tale.
From PUBLISHERS WEEKLY:
Action-packed, digitally finished illustrations fill pages with feathery splashes while capturing the swimmers’ over-the-top hijinks. Meanwhile, alliterative rhymes entreat further boisterousness, with text emphasizing onomatopoeia (“Hit the water,/ SPLAT-A-SPLOOSH!/ To the ladder,/ SWIM AND SWOOSH!”) alongside the title’s refrain. As the children’s exploits grow in scale—their theatrical expressions conveying outsize glee—near-misses involving Grandpa provide comedic tension until the inevitable results in a surprising reveal. With a lively energy, the creative team entertainingly capture poolside chaos.
