For fans of The Sour Grape, here is a laugh-out-loud picture book about resisting the temptation for revenge—and why it’s rarely the answer.

Mushroom is having a bad day . . . okay, maybe that’s an understatement. Mushroom is having the worst day EVER. First, he’s not picked to go on the pizza (and Pineapple is chosen instead of him—can you believe it?! PINEAPPLE!). Then, Milk spills all over him. Just when he thinks it can’t get any worse, he’s thrown in the compost bin. What else is a mushroom to do but build an army and take revenge?!

Becky Davies’s hilariously outrageous text and Thomas Elliott’s expressive and laugh-out-loud illustrations pair perfectly to teach little ones an important lesson on revenge, kindness, and managing emotions.

Genre:

  • Children's Books
  • Juvenile Fiction
  • Science & Nature

Becky Davies is a children’s book editor, and sometimes author, from the Southwest of England. Her favorite things are animals, books about magic, and anything sparkly. In a parallel universe she lives in Hawaii, where she works in a dog sanctuary and surfs until the sun sets beyond the horizon.

Thomas Elliott is an illustrator and designer with a keen love of nature. When he’s not creating beautiful books, he likes to spend time with his family and two dogs.

  • “Delightful visual details…complement a narrative structured like a graphic novel and a text jam-packed with groan-worthy puns.”
    I>Kirkus Reviews
     
    Kirkus
  • “There’s pure kid appeal in over-the-top narration by Davies (the One Little series) and cartooning by Elliott (I’m Not Scared, You Are!), which goes above and beyond with intriguing textures and dramatic compositions.”
    Publishers Weekly
