Nick Bland and Stephen Michael King in one spot? Are you hopping up and down like I am?
Bonny and Pop are really good at making things together. Bonny likes to do things simply and properly. She likes to think logically.
Pop, on the other hand, is a fandangled thinker. He likes to think big and brave and bold and even slightly kooky.
Together, they really are a formidable team.
One day, Pop and Bonny decide they need a tree to attract birds. So Pop gets to brainstorming and planning and whirlygigging. He thinks BIG.
Bonny finds a solution that fits in the palm of her hand.
This gorgeously sweet and striking story is every bit as Nick-Bland-wonderful as you may presume it would be. Its illustrations are equally rewarding - combining Seussy swatches of colour, divinely whimsy-driven characters and the joy and humour that is Stephen Michael King. That Pop-created tree is quite something to behold.
A must-have for anyone who enjoys smiling.
