About This Book
Beloved picture book creator David Shannon introduces a new character in a satisfyingly silly and subversive take on a familiar parable. If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Meet Mr. Nogginbody. Armed with his new hammer he fixes his floor then the wall and the picture on the wall and the shower and the stop sign at the end of the street. . . What else will Mr. Nogginbody “fix”? Celebrated author David Shannon’s comically misguided new character gets carried away by success
Our Review
This humorous picture book offers a wonderfully absurd take on problem-solving that will have toddlers giggling at every turn. When Mr. Nogginbody gets a new hammer, he enthusiastically applies it to everything he encounters—from household repairs to public property—with increasingly chaotic results. The simple, repetitive structure creates a predictable pattern that young children will eagerly anticipate, while the escalating silliness keeps them fully engaged. This early childhood story cleverly demonstrates how using the same solution for every problem can lead to unexpected complications.
Shannon's signature bold illustrations and expressive characters make the physical comedy leap off the page, perfect for capturing the attention of wiggly readers. The book's brilliance lies in how it presents cause-and-effect relationships through pure visual storytelling, allowing even pre-readers to follow the narrative. Parents seeking funny read-aloud experiences will appreciate how this story encourages critical thinking about tool use and problem-solving strategies without ever feeling didactic. Children will be thoroughly entertained by this lesson in creative thinking gone wonderfully wrong.
