michael gerard bauer the things that will not stand

You see Rodney’s frustrations and kids will delight in seeing his manic expressions and chaotic desk while he tries to find his missing things. The title works on two separate levels which is a joy, and Krebs’ illustrations are comedic and as I say, match perfectly with the words. Michael Gerard Bauer was born and lives in Brisbane Australia. This was on the CBCA 2018 Shortlist and ended up winning the Early Childhood category which is well deserved. Krebs brings Rodney’s world to life showing off his drawings and his love for his pen Penny, and his humorous distress when she goes missing. Krebs’ illustrations are colourful and stand out either on a page to themselves or placed next to the text which is a format which works well to enhance Bauer’s story. Sebastian is at a university open day with his best.

This book can easily be enjoyed by adults and children the children love it because it’s funny and Rodney is silly, the adults because it reflects situations they have probably had themselves which makes it even funnier. Read 36 reviews from the worlds largest community for readers. This is a book where the illustrations match perfectly to the story, it a story that relies on the pictures and the keen eye of the reader. The rhymes were clever and I easily got into the rhythm, and the story is excellent and funny. But then one day, disaster struck, the one thing Rodney feared, while working at his drawing desk his pen just…DISAPPEARED! He never found it tiresome, tedious or boring.

Also, be determined and keep believing in yourself even when its much easier not to. Rodney was a rabbit who loved nothing more than drawing. If you can please yourself chances are you will please others.
