The Hostile Smile is an interesting book. It's a fun and entertaining book as well, but it's definitely interesting. The main character that we follow, One Shoe Kangaroo, just seems like such an unlikely hero. But there he is, his one blue shoe and his dapper hat - ready to roll!It never ceases to amaze me how adventurous Pat Hatt's mind is. He can think up some of the craziest combinations - and they all work! You'll find all sorts of things in this book, from an armored octopus, to singing skunks, to rhino monks. Yes, I said that - rhino monks. Pat doesn't go into detail about them here, but I feel like I I wouldn't mess with them if it were me in One Shoe Kangaroo's spot.I don't want to give the story away, but if you're looking for a book for your kids that's colorful, fun, full of adventure, and full of rhymes - then pick this book up ASAP. So many of his books tend to rhyme a lot, and I've found that it's fun to read out loud to my kids, and my kids enjoy reading them just as much as listening to me read it - so it definitely makes for a fun read. In case you're wondering my kids are 3 and 7 - and that's the ideal age group I think. Unless you're just feeling a bit adventurous yourself, you'll probably enjoy reading it through at least once too - I won't tell anyone that you read it for yourself!definitely grab it and jump headfirst into some adventure! Your kids will thank you.
