On conversations and digging deep into your soul to figure out what you really want. Sometimes you need someone to help you discover it.

Reminiscent of Pigeon (extreme emotions)...plus there are funny scenes the adults will enjoy.

I like the premise of the book and the message that “bad guys” aren’t always bad. This book can also open a conversation about asking questions of others and how that can lead you to understand someone better.
Unfortunately, the illustrations and length of the book and the ending didn’t add to my enjoyment of the book. Hence, just 3 stars.

This is terrific: hilarious, cute, and there's a knitting wannabe super villain. What's not to love?

This story is for any parent, aunt, uncle, grandparent, babysitter, ANYONE who gets asked “Why?” eight gazillion times by a curious toddler. Apparently, sometimes your endless answers lead to thwarting villains! Whimsical artwork accompanies this terrific read-aloud story.

This was super cute and a good reminder that there’s always something new to learn if you just ask why.

A super villain entertains a young girl's incessant "why" questions to get to the root of his issues. Anyone with experience with toddlers will laugh at this one.

Part is clearly aimed at adults, but children will still enjoy this story. Grades preK & up.
