I’ll be honest, I was a bit skeptical when I first came across this hyperactive explosion of colour in my library, but I have since been thoroughly converted.
This. Book. Is. AWESOME!
Each spread is a riot of humour, heart, colour and detail. Just look at this spread!!!
There’s just so much to see and explore – it’s like Where’s Waldo but without any specific objective beyond simply enjoying and appreciating each scene.
I love the zaniness of the story and its characters (Trevor the magic mushroom is a personal favourite), and there’s a slight message about not making assumptions or jumping to conclusions (the supposed baddies turn out to be not quite as our heroes were expecting), but really this is just a hilarious bit of crazy, rainbow-coloured fluffy fun, and I’m all for that.
It’s a pretty good laugh for adult readers, too!
There’s a sequel on the way, too – I can’t wait.
I completely agree with your thoughts on Super Happy Magic Forest, Jane! The humor, vibrant art, and surprising twists make it such an enjoyable read. The way the characters defy expectations is a great touch.
