"Not all questions have answers. Some have more than one answer. And others have endless answers, unfolding out to the edges of the world. In this spare yet expansive narrative, acclaimed author Mac Barnett poses twenty questions both playful and profound. Some make us giggle. Others challenge our assumptions. The result is a quirky, wandering exploration of where the best questions lead--to stories. Intriguing, richly interactive, and brought to vivid life by Caldecott Honor recipient Christian Robinson's bright and whimsical illustrations, Twenty Questions is a charming invitation to speculate without limits and know no bounds."--Provided by publisher.… (más)

The first question ("How many animals can you see in this picture?") seems to be a fairly straightforward counting question, but the rest are much more open-ended and don't have a single "right" answer; rather, they encourage the readers to make up stories (e.g. "How did that cow get all the way up there?" with a picture of one cow standing on top of a wind turbine, with a herd of cows below; or, "Who is she waiting for?" with a picture of a woman in a red dress and hat standing on a rocky pile, looking out over the water). Fun and thoughtful, good for a read-aloud or for writing prompts (see also: The Mysteries of Harris Burdick by Chris Van Allsburg). ( )

Amazing. I love that it allows for the imagination of the reader to come up with answers. The artwork is top notch with Christian Robinson, one of my most favorites. ( )

First sentence: How many animals can you see in this picture? How many animals can you not see in this one because they're hiding from the tiger?

Premise/plot: Twenty Questions is a book of...you guessed it...twenty questions. The first two questions seem to flow into one another. You might get the idea that the whole book flows together. (It doesn't). The questions relate (somewhat???) to the illustrations. But there are no answers--obvious answers or more subtle answers--to the questions. (Except perhaps the first spread which literally asks readers to count the animals on the page. Again giving a false impression of the type of questions the author will be asking). The questions are more of the "out of the blue" and "huh" sort. Questions like, "Which of these ladies just robbed a bank?" and "Which of these children is dreaming of peaches?" I know kids are supposedly known for asking a million random questions, but, this book seems to push even that.

My thoughts: What if this book wasn't by Mac Barnett? Would it have been published at all? Would it be receiving positive reviews? Would the publishers be taking a chance on this one if say, for example, it was by a first time author? Can Mac Barnett get away with publishing anything? Who wrote the jacket flap? Did the person who wrote the jacket flap sincerely mean it? Is there ANY part of this book that is profound? Playful, one of the descriptions, I can see. But profound? And charming?

The book is pointless. Quirky, yes, but also extremely pointless. Unless (traditional) story narratives are not your thing. I mean I guess there could be some readers who hate books that have an actual story, actual plot, actual characters, actual reason to exist. (Yes, this one has a reason to exist. I'm sure. I won't spell out what it is. But you might can guess.) ( )
