Calling all daredevils! It's time to play CRASH, SPLASH, OR MOO! in this boisterous picture book with all the excitement of a game show.

Readers will be laughing, cheering, and giving themselves a round of applause as they play the game over and over again. Bob Shea, creator of many favorite funny books, including Unicorn Thinks He's Pretty Great and the Ballet Cat series, provides endless storytime fun with high-energy audience participation.

Bob Shea has created many books for young people, including the popular Dinosaur vs. series, Unicorn Thinks He's Pretty Great, The Happiest Book Ever and The Scariest Book Ever, and the early readers featuring Ballet Cat. He has also invented stories such as Big Plans, illustrated by Lane Smith, and drawn the pictures for books such as Love, Triangle, written by Marcie Colleen. Bob used to make things for Comedy Central and PBS Kids. Now he makes things for no reason--like animations, a giant lemon head, and his basement game show, Jackpot Basement. He invites you to visit him at bobshea.com, and to give yourself a round of applause. --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Review

2019 International Literacy Association/Children's Book Council Children's Choices List

"The spirit of Evel Knievel is alive and well in this retro game show, restructured for the storytime set. ...Kids will eat up the humor. ...All the interaction of an Hervé Tullet book, with a flying clam, a hyperactive monkey, and a cow all thrown in for good measure."
―Kirkus Reviews

"Energetic... As characters, typography, and jokes bounce around the pages--bright, silly, and loud--this one proves itself banana-worthy."
―Publishers Weekly

"High-energy...sure to be in demand during storytimes."
―Booklist

"Kids will line up for a chance to play."―School Library Journal --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

You know that PBS Kids spot where the pig runs around and eats things that begin with the letter "p"? Bob made that! He made a bunch of other animations for PBS Kids and helped them develop a national literacy campaign.

He has met Al Roker and Fonzie.

His stories, artwork and characters have also appeared on Nick Jr. and Noggin. He was even on Noggin, reading one of his books to Ryan, his little boy.

Bob likes to speak in the third person.

Bob has written several children's books, including New Socks, Big Plans, which was illustrated by Lane Smith, Dinosaur vs. Bedtime, Race You To Bed, and Oh Daddy.

Dinosaur vs. Bedtime was one of Amazon's Top 10 Picture Books of the year, and a Horn Book Magazine best of 2008.

He lives in Connecticut with his wife Colleen and his son, Ryan. He and Colleen own Perfectly Nice, a graphic design studio.

Bob enjoys cake.

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

To be perfectly honest, I did not love this book. I thought it was anti-climactic and wasn't the "game" that was advertised. So I put it down and didn't think much of it. Then my 12-year-old mentioned it out of the blue and asked me what I was going to do with that game show book. When I asked what she thought, she said it was really funny. I was surprised. Then I asked my 7-year-old to read it. He thought it was hilarious.

In fact, my son's teacher occasionally allows kids to read to the class as a reward for good behavior. My son has already made a plan to read this book to his class, and he's been practicing at home. While the book may have seemed corny to me, it is great reading practice for him. He is practicing his "reading voice" and reading the proper inflection to match end punctuation marks. He thinks this book is hilarious. I asked him about the game aspect (i.e. it's not really a game even though you're supposed to say what you think will happen). He just doesn't think that matters to how fun the book is.

And since my kids are the real audience for the book, that's why I've given it five stars. And, btw, if you remove the book jacket, you'll see an embossed gold banana on the front of the hardcover. It's the "ultimate prize" in the book/game, and my kids thought it was awesome.

Absurdity That Toddlers Love to Find in a Book ...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 19, 2018

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

Written and illustrated by Bob Shea, “Crash, Splash, or Moo!” is excellent read-aloud story that your toddler will enjoy since they are invited to participate in the story. The flamboyant Mr. McMonkey invites your shild to guess the results of “amazing stunts” performed by “fearless daredevils” – Action Clam and cow. Each ”Stunt” involves an amusing activity and Mr. McMonkey’s invitation to the child to guess the result. A correct guess wins the guesser a banana. Mr. McMonkey has no compunction in asking the “winner” to share the prizes.
Illustrations by Bob Shea are vivid, colorful, and simply done. The drawings have little visual depth; they are somewhat childish and cartoon-like. Nevertheless, this is a book targeted toward younger children. They seem to see the illustrations as being similar to what they are able to do. Thus, they may find the artwork very non-threatening and quite appealing.
The story of “Crash, Splash, or Moo!” is not complex and, for older children and adults, may be somewhat silly. Adults, however, may appreciate the asides the Mr. McMonkey cannot help but utter during the narrative. Toddlers, however, seem to find the wacky Mr. McMonkey and his guessing game quite engaging; they delight in having the book read repeatedly. This is an absurd book and one holding great appeal for little ones.
