Great story, definitely a page turner. I think any kid will want to know what's going to happen next ans have pointing out all the details in the pictures. I'm not giving it full stars because the art just didn't hit it for me but I could see a kid not caring.

July 2019 - a nice, long-ish read-aloud with a very unexpected birthday party (with a happy ending).

I really liked the story and the art style was funky. My 3 year old vaguely paid attention to the story but had many questions about the pictures.

Read at work for Picture Book Read-In 2019.
Wow. It is possible to DNF a picture book.

A quirky story with equally quirky illustrations. Not sure most kids would enjoy it.

Harold Snipperpot’s Marriage Counseling
Mom and Dad are having marriage problems. A zoo’s worth of animals destroy their house and poop all over it and lock Mom and Dad in a trunk. After that, Mom and Dad’s relationship is rejuvenated.
The illustrations are delightfully fantastic, with the exception of the giraffe’s teeth and pink tongue, which were disturbing and scary.

Harold is turning seven years old, but his grumpy, emotionally distant parents do not like birthday parties. In fact, Harold has never had one before. This year turns out much different than normal, however, because his parents decide to hire Mr. Ponzio to arrange a party that will make their son happy. Mr. Ponzio is the person everyone goes to with their problems, so whatever he does should work out fine. Things quickly get wild and crazy!! However unexpectedly, the insanity that transpires solves more than just getting a birthday party. The story is completely unrealistic, but highly imaginative. The artwork was created using gouache, oil, collage, and wax pencils.
