April Foolishness

2004Teresa Bateman

4.9/5

April Foolishness is a children's picture book written by Teresa Bateman and illustrated by Nadine Bernard Westcott. It is about two grandchildren trying to warn their grandfather of the disastrous happening around the farm, but since it is April Fools' Day, he doesn't believe them – or should he? Today is April Fools' Day (1 April) and I thought it would be apropos to read this book today.The text is simplistic, straightforward, and rather poetic. Written in rhyme, this book tells the story about the strange happenings going on around the farm as reported by his grandson, but since it is April Fools' Day, the grandfather doesn’t believe it and continues to make breakfast undaunted. Westcott's illustrations are drawn well and depicted the narrative extremely well.The premise of the book is rather straightforward. It's April Fools' Day and two children are visiting their grandparents' farm. Since it is April Fools' Day, the grandchildren are trying to trick their grandfather, but they are quite unsuccessful, until Grandma joins in the fun.All in all, April Foolishness is a wonderfully humorous children's book about the silliness that could happen on April Fools' Day.
