A twitch, an itch, some forgotten manners and a giant sneeze are the recipe for chaos in a brilliantly bonkers, sneeze-tastic adventure.
Everyone knows the importance of being polite; to remember your thank-you and please, cough in your hand and cover your nose when you sneeze. When Sid forgets these basic rules and lets out an enormous ‘ACHOO’, something extraordinary happens. Sid has sneezed his way into adventure. With each sneeze bringing more chaos will Sid remember his manners before things get truly out of hand…
I once worked with a colleague whose sneezes came in abundance, so much so that her class of children used to count how many at a time and kept a record in the hope that she would break her previous best. This picture book would have had them in stitches and would have certainly heightened expectation at what each ‘achoo’ might bring.
Achoo! makes for the most ridiculously anarchic of adventures that all starts with an almighty sneeze. Each uncovered sneeze leading to something even more absurd as Sid sneezes his way into adventures involving elephants, treasure hunting pirates, acrobats at the circus, pandas and a whole host of recognisable fairytale characters frolicking on a gigantic beanstalk.
Delightful rhymes and vibrant artwork that bursts with energy and zings with fun will ensure young children giggle and sneeze their way through Sid’s adventures. Sneezing has never been so much fun (just remember to cover your nose or reach for a tissue, or you might find yourself sneezing your way into adventure, just like Sid). Sneezing without covering your nose… that’s SNOT okay. With huge thanks to Bloomsbury for the copy I received in exchange for an honest review. Recommended for 2+.
