Produktbeschreibung
New Yorker cartoonist Matthew Diffee makes his children s book debut with this laugh-out-loud twist on the classic animal sound book.

The cow says moo. The horse says neigh. Everyone can agree on these.

But when the sheep says baa, the goat cuts in. The goat also says baa. Now what? No one wants to share their sound!

The sheep has an idea he ll just say something no one s ever said before: zip zap wickety wack bing bang walla balla flip flap yackety yack. But an otherworldly visitor shows up to lay claim to this sound, too and the alien doesn't want to share his identity either.

When the alien proposes a radical new way forward, the sheep and the goat find a compromise and it may sound familiar to adult readers . . .

New Yorker cartoonist Matthew Diffee s hilarious wit will be an immediate hit with young readers in his first picture book. Sure to inspire boisterous read-alouds and threaded with a sneaky message about sharing, Zip Zap Wickety Wack will inspire new nonsense and new values in homes, classrooms, and farmyards around the world.

Rezensionen
Wax and pleasingly shaded colored pencil art on tawny pages features deftly expressive animals. . . . The characters nonchalant rapport is well conveyed, with text rendered in a clean serif font of varying scale for added visual oomph.Clever humor and a fresh take on a seemingly familiar scene make this a widely appealing, expertly paced, and wonderfully silly read-aloud. Unexpected and delightfully absurd.

Booklist
Delightfully deadpan entertainment.
The New York Times

Mr. Diffee s artwork all elegant, retro lines and jaunty patches of pastel and wisecracking dialogue give these creamy pages a wonderful sense of buoyancy. . . . [A] humorous and humane read-aloud for children ages 4-8.
The Wall Street Journal

Diffee, a New Yorker cartoonist, sets a deceptively bucolic scene for this preposterous showdown that makes for a raucous read-aloud.

Booklist

Lovely colored-pencil illustrations add warmth to Zip Zap Wickety Wack's wonderfully witty case for finding compromise. Never has a primer about farm animal sounds gone off the rails in such a delightfully engaging way.
