Waber, Bernard Nobody Is Perfick. 144 pgs. Houghton Mifflin
Harcourt, 2017. $9.99. Language: G; Violence: G; Mature content: G. REPRINT
This graphic novel/short story hybrid is hard to classify.
The book is made up of a series of short humorous vignettes that all end with
some sort of punchline. The stories are told in pencil drawings and speech
bubbles, and have no real point beyond making the reader smile. I spent the
first half of the book trying to figure out what this whole thing was about,
and the second half trying to decide if I liked it. As an adult, I feel like
the book is a waste of time but I think elementary age readers might enjoy the
short stories of jokes and pictures. Its overall an okay book, but not one that
readers are likely going to love.
