Young Frank, Architect door Frank Viva

This book had an unexpected arc! I had thought that the whole book would be about the kid on the cover struggling to hold it, but in fact that's only part of the story, and the grown-ups - first the kid's mom, then their grandpa - are nonjudgmental, empathetic, and funny. The kid and the grandpa share the various dances they make up and name, and people in the background - who, it's revealed, are all waiting in line for the bathroom - get in on the fun too. The art is stylish, predominantly black and white with a textured, ombre yellow-orange spot color, and small amounts of other more sedate colors in the background. Very fun!… (meer)
Follows a man as he rides a bicycle along a bright yellow road. He travels quickly through a seaside town, passing businesses and people, crossing bridges. Neat use of color, the bright yellow road and red items stand out against the muted tones. Great for the kinders.
Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss.
