Richard Was a Picker

32 pp. | Orca | October, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-1-55469-088-6 $19.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ben Hodson. A bouncy, rhythmic text relates the tale of young Richard, whose incessant nose-picking leads to trouble. When his finger gets stuck too far up his schnoz, Richard essentially turns himself inside-out. While a sneeze saves Richard, no one can escape the disgusting gook. Comical illustrations are filled with the green "ooey gluey goobery glob." Entertaining for fans of gross-out humor; gag-worthy for others.
Reviewer: Carrie Harasimowicz Sullivan
