ReviewsGaiman's comic timing gets a boost from strategic book design and from Rex's hyperreal paintings, which emphasize Chu's round, fuzzy form and apparent harmlessness. Gaiman and Rex deliver a classic one-two-three punch, making hay from the notion that a cuddly baby panda is not to be trusted., Kids will find the idea of a monstrous sneeze funny, and it may prompt some attempts of their own. Rex's richly detailed illustrations are brimming with fantastic touches. Share this one at toddler storytime for lots of giggles, or one-on-one for spotting details in the art.

SynopsisA New York Times bestselling picture book from Newbery Medal winning author Neil Gaiman and acclaimed illustrator Adam Rex now available, by popular request, as a board book. Chu is a little panda with a big sneeze. When Chu sneezes, bad things happen. But as Chu and his parents visit the library, the diner, and the circus, will anyone hear Chu when he starts to feel a familiar tickle in his nose? Chu's Day is a story that shows how even the smallest child can make big things happen.
We got this book at the library for our 16-month-old son. He loved it so much (he literally kissed the book) we bought it for him. This was the first book at which he's actually laughed out loud. It has beautiful, engaging illustrations and the simple, funny story is so cute. It was clearly written to be read out loud - lots of opportunity for hamming it up - we highly recommend it! There are two more books in this series so far. They're a little more complex, so we look forward to buying them for out son in the next couple of years.
