BUY THIS BOOK - Nobody Notices Minerva by Wednesday Kirwan
Zac Bentz | 6:27 PM on 09.01.2007 17 comments




A friend of mine has just published her first book! It's a very cute children's book both written and illustrated by Wednesday Kirwan. From the Amazon listing:

"Minerva is being a very naughty girl today. But no one seems to notice—or care—when she pulls out the stuffing from Dad’s favorite chair, peels off the wallpaper, knocks over the milk, and pokes her brother. And not only is everyone ignoring her, but being bad doesn’t even make her feel good! Is there a better way to get a little attention?
A story kids will really relate to (complete with a sly ending) and adorable art—featuring a cute Boston terrier bent on mischief—will make this a toddler favorite. Plus, they’ll realize what Minerva doesn’t: that her Mom and Dad really are keeping a loving eye on her the whole time!"

So check it out and spread that word!

Sounds cute, but I don't know anyone young enough to appreciate it.

@Buster: It's not a book. It's a text adventure!

your friends name is Wednesday? Her parents must have been total hippies. That name kicks ass.

They aren't TOTAL hippies. Just really arty types. Her father is an illustrator, her mom is a painter and designer, her brother is an animator working out in LA and her sister is a writer. So yeah. Arty.

Sounds cute. I'll let my dad know about it too; he's involved in purchasing for the library system.

B'aww. 83 Little doggie needs to learn that no one likes you when you're being a cunt. If I had kidlets I'd buy it for them.

@wardox: I'm not sure where it comes from exactly. I know all the characters are based on her family so...

@Heretic: Oh yeah, dogs have lots of 'em.

I just mentioned this book today in LiveSpaces - I work in library Tech Services and was so stuck by the cover that I made everyone nearby read it. Proves one is never too old to be charmed by a well-crafted children's book!

Oddly, I also had opportunity to bring up Destructoid this evening in my other favorite place, MobyGames, directing someone to a Game-and-Watch article. *cue creepy music*
