What’s so silly about drawing? If you’re doing it right, everything! In My Beastly Book of Silly Things the ridiculous possibilities are endless: flying elephants, sausage thieves, crazy hairdos, boogers, bugs, guacamole, and more! Like the other titles in the My Beastly Book series, My Beastly Book of Silly Things pushes kids' creativity into curious new and fun directions. Armed with only a pack of crayons or markers, children get to interpret visual cues and solve humorous mix-ups in their own unique way. What objects will they throw into the garbage? What's about to be hit by the little man's massive club? And just what are the silliest things they can think of? Well, that's all up to them. Getting the whole insane ball rolling is illustrator Vincent Boudgourd. His loose, exaggerated style not only perfectly sets up each crazy conundrum, it does so in a manner that encourages spontaneous and natural response from kids. The entire book is a wacky, unpretentious journey into a world where no idea is too weird to take root.

Vincent Boudgourd is the art director at a publicity agency. He enjoys posters and illustrations from the 1950’s through 70’s, traveling, waves, wide open spaces, and meat and potatoes. He lives in Rennes, France.
