The Big Sneeze: A ridiculous, rhyming, read-aloud calamity! (THE UNCLE BUNKLE STORIES)

About

“He’d been in an enormous tree, that chilly day in autumn, when he sneezed so hard it blew him out –‘Twas pure luck that I caught him!”

This is the tale of a young lad with an extraordinary sneeze--as powerful as a rocket ship--and when Uncle Bunkle tries to help out, he goes along for the ride! Fortunately, the blast is a welcome distraction. Unfortunately, the geese they meet high up in the sky see it differently, and a whole lot of honking ensues! Join them for this ridiculous, rhyming, read-aloud catastrophe!

Just what I needed today!

Fun and clever! This story took me on an out of the ordinary adventure and away from all the seriousness of life.

I love the story! The illustrations are unique with rich and inviting colors. I love that Unkle Bunkle is in the story!…and I am so happy that the story is in English and Spanish! This is one of those stories that will be remembered! A great gift!

5 out of 5 stars. Who knew sneezing could be so fun?

This is original and refreshing. The rhyming is clever, and the illustrations are fantastic. The artwork, created by the author, combines photography and digital graphics. It’s the perfect complement to this funny little story.

5 out of 5 stars. Very Entertaining!

This is a funny children's book. It's written in two languages. The English version has a nice rhyme that children will like. The story is silly and nonsensical, and kid's are likely to find it fun. The illustrations are not good, but they're seem to be not good in a purposeful, silly way. Overall, it's just a quick and fun little rhyme written in two languages. I recommend it as an early reader.

4 out of 5 stars. Useful for bilingual families.

The Big Sneeze is a little story about a little boy falling from a tree and a man who saved him. The story is written in rhymes, in two languages, which makes it useful for bilingual families. even i liked the story, the illustrations are very strange looking - not for me.

5 out of 5 stars. Hilarious!

I had so much fun reading this story! Uncle Bunkle's stories are always a riot. Out of this world situations, and the narrator's weird logics make everything a delight. The rhymes really rhyme and the dual language feature is a good way to learn a new language. Highly recommend!
