I literally Tripped over This Amazing Children's Book:
Are the illustrations killing you? I nearly had a coronary when I looked through the pages!
They Floored me? Made me go...huh?
The warped circular images force you to search and re-search through each image because you are convinced you might have missed something. It's a cross between Escher and an Ispy book! I am so excited to see how my little boy will react to the pages of this book? Talk about the best Christmas present for a little kid!
Here's my favorite line from the book....
"While Uncle Chuck's Cow Whispered Meow."
I love this dreamy page at the end of the story... with the words:
But you remembered you just closed your eyes
And turned off your sight,
And when dreams come
They come in the middle of the night.
Can you so totally hear my 4yrold chanting that last bit?!
I can.
Welcome to SteamPotVille,
DON'T FORGET THE ICE CREAM??
DON'T FORGET THE ICE CREAM??
I say... don't forget your creditcard. This book is only $13.99!
Steve Ouch is the real person behind the book and you can find his brand spankin' new (yes, I'm jealous) wordpress blog here, and follow him on twitter here, and of course GET THE BOOK here! Steve did not ask me to review his awesome book, I pretty much forced him to let me. He did however follow me on twitter, and that's cool right? (Do you think he'll mind if I ask him to sign my copy?)
UPDATE::::: Steve said yes he will sign my copy, and he said the book will be released in one day! Whoop!

Wow what a crazy looking book! Great job on your review it made me just want to pick the book up for sheer amusement. :)
Great review and I you convinced me. I am sure we will love it for my little girl!
Too funny!
Isn't it weird what we will or won't do for money?
Yeah, I blog anyway, but for some reason, it makes me feel weird to do ads. Maybe I'll get over it one day.
great review and the book looks like lots of fun... something my boys would have liked at a younger age. good gift idea, though.
Looks like a great book. Thanks for the review! My kids love to read so this would make a nice Christmas present.
That book looks cool. I think that Mekhi will like it when he is a little older.
OMG -- my lil' one would LOVE this book. Amazing illustrations and fun narrative. Thanks for turning me onto it. :)
Wow! This book looks great, except that I feel like I should be drunk when looking at it :-) LOL
No seriously, though it's a little "crazy" it looks like so much fun! I love the images and the way he integrates them within the illustration.
Great review!
Oh, and thanks for the nice words on my/your Wonder Woman Award. I like to think I'm funny sometimes, but most of the time I think people assume I'm just weird! LOL
See you night on GNO!
That is a crazy book. I am really not a kid's book kind of person, and sometimes I dread "story time" around here, but this book looks like it might not be such a drag.
The graphics in this book are unlike anything I've ever seen. Good find.
That book looks amazing that I know it will even capture my 17 month old daughter eyes!
AWESOME!! What a great book that looks like! I've got big reading fans over here so this is on the list!
Looks like a fun book.
You go girl!
That was a great review...
BTW Just bought the last two Twilight books for MM off of Amazon.com for Santa Claus
