[ 책 소개 ]

네명의 아이들이 모여서 그동안 궁금했었던 것에 대해 서로 이야기합니다. "어른들은 우리가 없을 때 무엇을 하면서 보낼까?"

우리에게 잔소리하듯이 다른 사람들에게도 잔소리를 할까?
일하러 가서 신나게 파티를 하면서 노는 것은 아닐까?
나무 꼭대기에도 올라가고, 연극놀이도 하고, 트램폴린에서 점핑하며 노는 것은 아닐까?

무엇보다도 가장 궁금한 것은 우리를 빼고 어른들끼리 맛있는 캔디를 실컷 먹는 것은 아닐까?

하지만 어른들은 하루 종일 아이들을 생각하며 열심히 일하고,
아이들이 안전하고 행복하기를 바라며,
식사시간에는 야채도 먹기를 바라고,
다른 사람들도 잘 돌봐주기를 바라고 있지요.
무엇보다도 어른들끼리만 몰래 캔디를 먹는 일은 결코 일어나지 않....을까요?

Book Description
In this delightfully illustrated picture book, readers explore the original FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) as four children imagine what wild, zany, and impossible adventures the adults in their lives must surely get up to when they are not with them.
Four different children from three different families ponder what the adults in their lives do during the day. Are they jumping on trampolines? Are they eating cake and ice cream while riding birthday ponies? Are they eating candy with other adults? After a series of hilariously illustrated and wildly imaginative scenarios, readers learn an important lesson: The adults who love them think about them constantly and are most definitely, certainly, ABSOLUTELY . . . not eating candy without them. Or are they?


Kirkus Reviews
"Childhood is a time fraught with questions: Why is the sky blue? Why is grass green? What do grown-ups do when kids aren’t around? In this whimsical flight of fancy, four children--diverse in racial presentation and family type--seek answers to questions of their own. The children’s initial questions revolve around how the adults behave at home and work when the children are not present. They ask: “What do you do without me?” and “Do all the rules still apply when I’m not home?” and “Do you tell other people what to do?”--a question hilariously paired with an image of one child’s mom telling a man not to pick his nose. The next round of questions express concern that the grown-ups are having childlike fun without them, including the obvious query, “Do you go to fancy parties with ice cream, cake, and ponies?” This ultimately leads to the most important question of all: “ARE YOU EATING CANDY WITHOUT ME?!?!?” The playful illustrations are bright and appropriately candy-colored. They vary among busy but never overwhelming full-bleed, double-page spreads and large comic-book–like panels incorporating images, text, and speech bubbles. The font is large, which makes it excellent for trailing with a finger for a read-along. Inviting both conversation and giggles, this tale will work well as a lap read or bedtime book.
A book as sweet as the candy that fills its pages."


Book Riot
“If you’re looking for a good time, you can’t do much better than this adorable and hilarious picture book about children wondering what exactly their parents get up to when the kids aren’t around. Do they jump on trampolines and play with ponies? Do they eat cake and ice cream? This is bursting with playful, colorful illustrations and is a sweet and amusing read.”


Parents Mag
"If you kid is in stitches over Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus: Read Are You Eating Candy Without Me? All the wackiness of the pigeon books, but you kid will root for characters who are certain that grown-ups are having fun without them, not against a greedy bird."


Booklist
"...broad views of the adults having a high old time alternate with smaller, more intimate scenes of the diverse cast members in their varied domestic situations. And indeed, the collective narrator finally concludes, grown-ups are so focused on their children that they would never think of such shenanigans: “RIGHT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!” Of course not. Young audiences aren’t the only ones that will find this fact-finding probe droll."
