By McSweeney’s

Not sure what category to put this one in, and where to put it. Maybe the ‘Wacky Kids Shelf’, or in ‘Kooky Collections’, maybe ‘Books for Little Hipsters’? Just ask us, we'll tell you where it is. And it is worth finding. It’s a work of art from some of the best creators in kidlit today, put together by the award-winning McSweeney’s team. Do you love labyrinths? Fortune telling? Search-and-find games? Ready-to-draw monsters? Making your own fossils? Faking a horrible illness, or learning magic from an actual unicorn? Then look no further! This is chokabloc with hundreds of games, comics, puzzles and absurdities. Goofy, irreverent, cheeky and just plain odd. You’ll buy it for the kids but pick it up yourself to have a look for two minutes… and refuse to give it back for an hour, maybe two. Possibly the oddest book we’ve reviewed this year. I loved it.
