\"\"<\/a>How Big Is Zagnodd?<\/em><\/p>\n

by Sandra Boynton<\/p>\n

Little Simon, 2020. 16 pages.
\nReview written December 4, 2020, from a library book
\nStarred Review<\/p>\n

This is the very first time I\u2019m reviewing a board book. But it\u2019s a new Sandra Boynton board book! <\/p>\n

Honestly? I don\u2019t often even notice the board books that come into the library because you can\u2019t put them on hold so I can\u2019t look them over as they come in. But today I was pulling a bag of board books for a customer (we\u2019ve had them on an ask-for-a-bag basis during the pandemic so they don\u2019t collect drool), and saw this one, read it and was utterly charmed.<\/p>\n

Spoiler alert: Zagnodd is SO big! <\/p>\n

And then we\u2019re asked more questions about other aliens. \u201cHow long is Boknuk?\u201d, \u201cHow fuzzy are Fleeb, Fleeeb, & Fleeeeb?\u201d, and \u201cHow bright is Igwak?\u201d<\/p>\n

But the place where I laugh out loud is, \u201cHow dancey are the nimble Klorggix of Planet 9?\u201d And after that, we see one earthling named Steve who is SO lost.<\/p>\n

If you delight in reading nonsense words, obviously this is the board book for your family.<\/p>\n

Sandra Boynton\u2019s genius is in making books that are short and sweet but delight little ones and adults alike. My own 32-year-old daughter had a set of Boynton board books and I swear her first word was \u201cFffff!\u201d when reading the book called Doggies<\/em> that had a WOOF! on each page. How Big Is Zagnodd?<\/em> is a worthy addition to her offerings.<\/p>\n
