Knock Knock

About this book

Knock Knock is a fresh and innovative method of humourous storytelling that uses knock-knock jokes to tell the story of Bear and his woodland friends Raccoon, Rabbit, Turtle, and others. With each new visitor, Bear grows increasingly frustrated at his lack of peace and quiet. Little does Bear know that his friends have a special surprise party in store to welcome him back during Springtime!

"Knock, knock!"

"Who's there?"

"Justin."

"Justin who?"

"Justin the neighbourhood and thought I'd stop by."

It's sidesplitting storybook fun!

“The end goal of sleep makes this a nice bedtime read-aloud, particularly for little readers who may be resisting the end of the day, even as the giant, red 'KNOCK KNOCK's encourage raucous storytime participation.

Praise for Your Alien by Tammi Sauer:

* "Not since E.T. has extraterrestrial entertainment stood such a good chance of making kids (and their parents) tear up." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review

* "Sauer's sweet tale of interplanetary friendship makes terrific use of second-person narration. Young listeners will identify with the young protagonist... Will likely inspire preschoolers to stare hopefully heavenward looking for their own close encounters." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review
