Annotation
A humorous revelation of the real reasons why adults tell children to do things, such as "Eat your vegetables," "Comb your hair," and "Don't blow bubbles in your milk."
From the Publisher
Urgent!It's happened again!
David Wisniewski has completed another daring raid into the vault of parent rules. Within these forbidden pages lurk the real reasons why grown-ups want you to brush your teeth, eat your breakfast, and clean under your bed. The truth has been hidden for centuries, but the time of mystery is over.
Grab a flashlight! Get under cover! It's time for ...
The Secret Knowledge of Grown-Ups!
The Second File
Children's Literature
Wisniewski continues his attempt to "crack the greatest conspiracy of all time: namely, that grown-ups purposely hide the real reasons why parents tell children to do things!" Donning his trench coat, he delves into such health and hygiene statements as "Wash your feet," "Don't eat junk food," "Don't stay in the bathtub too long," and "Don't watch TV late at night." He continues with the spy theme he used in the first book and introduces each section with a torn page that says, "Top secret뾅lassified." He lists the rule, the official reason given by adults and finally, the beginning of the truth. His reasons are wildly imaginative, and some work better than others. There are a number of allusions to contemporary television programs. Wisniewski imbues his cut paper illustrations with a humorous cartoon-style. The facial exaggeration works well. Is that a self-portrait of the author as the tooth fairy? Be sure to look closely! Those who enjoyed the first book will find plenty of laughs here as well. 2001, HarperCollins,
The title is perched on a yellow cover that resembles a top-secret file. The back flap tells about the author with statements like, he's "old enough to know better, between 3'6" and 6'3". Inside, Wisniewski delivers on his promise when he reveals the secrets behind eight worn out adult sayings. For example, Grown-up Rule #31: Eat your vegetables. The Official Reason is that they are good for you. With a quick page turn, kids can learn the truth. You see, once meat-eating vegetables ruled the earth and now you've got to eat vegetables to "keep the little horrors fearful and demoralized and to protect modern civilization." Wisniewski trademark paper-cut collages are bright, colorful and as zany as the stories. This book will draw children like a magnet.
Ah, the Caldecott! When you win it, you can finally get away with writing and illustrating what you really want to. That's seems to be what Wisniewski has done, in this iconoclastic little tome that pushes both the publishing envelope and the parental button. Bet you didn't know the real reason for Grown-up Rule #37: Drink Plenty of Milk! Hint: it has to do with a top-secret government program and some cows you just gotta meet to believe. In the age of the 32-page picture book, here are a hefty 45 pages of text and illustration. Wisniewski's trademark cut-paper collages are turned to a refreshingly wicked purpose, and aimed squarely at the 8 to 10 crowd, who ought to lap it up like the proverbial milk. - Sharon Salluzzo
School Library Journal
The intrepid debunker of parental restraints returns in this sequel to The Secret Knowledge of Grown-ups (Lothrop, 1998). Continuing his quest to unearth the truth behind such rules as "brush your teeth," "clean under your bed," and "don't swallow your gum," the author risks life and limb as he dons various disguises, eludes determined pursuers, and cracks intricate security systems. He reveals the true and truly far-fetched explanations (brushing reminds your teeth to stay put, cleaning under your bed prevents the growth of dust bunnies, and swallowing gum will inflate your stomach and you'll float away) in brief vignettes that draw from fractured history, convoluted science, and just plain absurdity. Meticulous cut-paper illustrations extend the silliness of the premise as molars riot, dust bunnies attack, and flatulent GIs prepare an invasion. While wordy for a picture book, lots of the text appears in boxed asides and picture captions. The humor sometimes tries too hard and exclamation points proliferate as the predominantly male cast delivers puns, jokes, and (sometimes gross) mayhem. Many of the jibes, while clever, will be best appreciated by adults and a total of eight "secrets" makes for a bulky and lengthy second file. Buy where the first is popular. |
