Don't Squish The Sasquatch Written by Kent Redeker Illustrated By Bob Staake Disney / Hyperion 2012 ISBN 10: 1423152328 ISBN 13: 978-1423152323   Return To All Books     Behind The Pages With Bob: "All the illustrations in this book are predominantly cut-outs. I drew them in pencil on paper, cut them out with an x-acto knife, laid them atop a piece of black paper, scanned them to get silhouettes - and then added color and detail.. Much of Trucks Galore was done the same way." -- Bob Staake   Why would Bob choose to dedicate this book to Roger Patterson and Robert Gimlin? On the bus one can find an advertisment for "Uncle Luigi's Donut Pizza" in Newark, NJ. There is no such business in Newark, NJ. The old victorian haunted house depicted in the book is not an homage to Charles Addams -- or maybe it is. Summary: When Senor Sasquatch boards the bus, he makes one thing perfectly clear to driver: he doesn't like to be squished. But as the bus travels along its route, other passengers get on-like Miss Elephant Shark, Mr. Octo-Rhino and Miss Whale Goat! Soon senor Sasquatch finds himself at risk...of being squished! Sample image from book (above) Publisher's Weekly As the title suggests, unadulterated silliness is the raison d'etre for this collaboration between Staake (Look! A Book!) and TV writer and producer Redeker. (As the title also suggests: this sasquatch is gonna get squished.) The story begins with the tall, long-limbed Señor Sasquatch-sharply dressed in a black suit and fedora-climbing onto a bus piloted by the aptly named Mr. Blobule. "I hope it doesn't get too crowded," he tells the driver. "I do not like to get squished!" Sure enough, the bus fills up with one hybrid creature after another, each stranger than the last, until the bus explodes with a giant "ka-blooey" on a four-page foldout spread. Working in his characteristically exaggerated style, Staake fills the pages with details of urban life, while focusing on the yellow bus and its unusual passengers. Redeker's prose consists almost entirely of dialogue ("Of course you may ride my bus, Miss Loch-Ness-Monster-Space-Alien!"), as well as the repeated titular refrain, emphasizing that this is a book to be read aloud. Loudly. Ages 1­5. Get Your Book Signed By Bob   If you liked this book, be sure to see Senor Sasquatch get squished in his first volume, Don't Splash The Sasquatch.
