Sneezenesia

Has your head ever felt too full of knowledge?  Maybe you should try a good sneeze!  While shopping with his mother in the grocery store, a little boy sneezes so hard he forgets his own name.  He also sneezes out the memory of his mom’s name, facts he learns in school, everything he ever knew about dinosaurs, and more.  Lucke’s brightly colored, surreal, mixed-media paintings capture the hilarious disgustingness of the boy’s situation, and the text whimsically changes colors as he sneezes away his knowledge.  This book is perfect for a story time read-aloud, and the grotesque nature of the illustrations will definitely appeal to young boys.
