Children’s fiction.

What an absolute delight! And soooo clever! This book is full of Nothing, and makes the concept fun to learn about for humans small and large (I myself am a large human in this case).

There are loads of visual puns (because it’s about a visit to a museum) and references to works about “nothing”, with an explainer at the end of the book. There are also lots of hidden little nothings for little ones to discover as they read. The illustrations are perfectly done, and the writing is excellent. I cannot recommend this quick, smart and fun read enough!

Thank you to NetGalley and to Astra Publishing House for the ARC.
