Cliff</i>, First Mate Foxy reads an interesting fact: Lemmings <i>don't</i> jump off cliffs. But Foxy can't get the lemmings on the <i>Cliff </i>to read his book, too. They're too busy jumping off. <p/> After a chilly <i>third</i> rescue, exasperated Foxy and grumbly polar bear Captain PB realize their naughty nautical crew <i>isn't</i> being stubborn: The lemmings (Jumper, Me Too, and Ditto) <i>can't </i>read. And until Foxy patiently teaches his lemmings to read the book, he can't return to reading it, either!<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Winner of the 2019 North Carolina Children's Book Award</b><b><b><br></b>Praise for <i>Read the Book, Lemmings!</i>: </b> <p/> * OHora's charming illustrations with their primary color palette perfectly match Dyckman's playful text to produce a funny read-aloud that will hold up to multiple readings.... Children will enjoy this at storytime and again on their own at home. A first purchase for all libraries.--<i><b>School Library Journal, starred review</b></i><br><br>*OHora's scratchy, comically stiff figures and poker-faced humor beautifully embody the tale's essential absurdity. And the lemmings' final victory affirms that progress is possible even for the terminally silly.--<i><b>Publishers Weekly, starred review</b></i><br><br>[A] goofy picture book guaranteed to please.... Literacy, laughs, and a light touch.--<i><b>Booklist</b></i><br><br>Delightfully imparts the joy and discovery of reading-and many chuckles and guffaws.--<i><b>Kirkus Reviews</b></i><br><br>The charming illustrations and comedic plot will please young readers, and the lesson is clear, but not preachy: if you don't know, you can learn. This is a pleasant addition to any picture book collection.--<i><b>SLC</b></i><br><br>This is one giggly delight after another.--<i><b>BCCB</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Ame Dyckman</b> is the award-winning author of <i>That's Life!</i>, <i>Dandy</i>, <i>Read the Book, Lemmings!</i>, <i>You Don't Want a Unicorn!</i>, <i>Horrible Bear!</i>, the <i>New York Times</i> Bestselling <i>Wolfie the Bunny</i>, and more.
