POPSICLE!
About
Does your dad ever just stand there with the fridge door open?
Unsure of what to eat, but somehow hoping
if enough time passes just hanging about,
that the perfect little morsel’s gonna leap right out?
If so, you might want to warn him about what happened to my dad--
He went in search of just a bedtime snack.
But with no note left behind we’d no idea when he’d come back!
¿Tu padre se queda alguna vez parado con la puerta del refrigerador abierta? ¿Sin saber qué comer, pero de alguna manera con la esperanza de que si pasa suficiente tiempo simplemente vagando, el bocadito perfecto saltará de inmediato? Si es así, tal vez quieras advertirle sobre lo que le pasó a mi papá. Fue en busca de un refrigerio antes de dormir, ¡pero como no dejó ninguna nota, no sabíamos cuándo volvería!
Praise for this book
Popsicle! " Uncle Bunkle is funny and quirky story. I truly laughed for whole book. Story is funny and illustration are funny too. I don't think it has any message but just innocent entertainment and laugh. I read to my grand child he was laughing crazy. I highly recommend it such that you can laugh
Funny and whimsical book, and quite original. I haven't read anything like it in the past. Some children will laugh and enjoy it, and some might find it a bit too eccentric.
Popsicle! " Uncle Bunkle was a funny type of satire; I had to read it twice to get the bigger picture. The second time I read it, I saw how clever the Author was. The illustrations are colorful and appear to be hand-drawn. I am not sure that there was a clear message, but it was an interesting read. The kid's dad was frozen in the freezer for a number of years.
This clever and quirky book is perfect for quirky humor lovers. The story begins with a relatable scene—Dad staring into the fridge—and spirals into a wildly imaginative adventure that kept both me and my kids hooked. The rhyming verse is sharp, funny, and easy to read aloud, while the underlying humor strikes a perfect balance between silly and smart. My children were laughing and guessing what might happen next on every page. It also opened fun conversations about imagination and family routines. A fantastic pick for families who enjoy stories with heart, humor, and a touch of mystery. I also appreciated the bilingual touch
This story has a lighthearted charm that makes it enjoyable to read from start to finish. There’s a playful energy throughout, yet it also leaves you with a warm, happy feeling. It’s the kind of book that’s fun to revisit and share with others.
