Description



About the Book



Complemented by a mylar mirror for making faces, a picture-book debut by the late-night host depicts a whimsically tongue-in-cheek goose who rediscovers its sense of humor while reminding young readers to take "serious" approaches to silliness.



Book Synopsis



Can you make the Serious Goose laugh? This playful and funny board book by Jimmy Kimmel challenges kids to make the silliest faces they can in the mirror inside--and crack up this no-nonsense goose!

This board book, written, illustrated, and lettered by late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, challenges young readers to bring the silly out of a very Serious Goose. Inspired by Jimmy's nickname for his kids, The Serious Goose reminds us to be silly in a serious way. With shorter text and sturdy pages, this simplified edition is perfect for little hands! This delightful read-aloud is guaranteed to create gaggles of giggles time and time again!



Review Quotes




"Dares readers to crank up the volume... may add a few grown-up voices to the younger chorus of giggles. The goose is all that's serious here." --Kirkus Reviews

"In his savvy, funny picture-book debut, Kimmel uses his limited drawing style to great advantage; in fact, the less the goose does, the funnier it is.... Kimmel knows that when you tell a kid not to do something, it's sure to unleash silliness of epic proportions." --Publishers Weekly
