Booklist - 11/01/2022 Becky thinks she’s too old for her beloved grandpa Max’s classic nose-snatching trick, until he does it one more time, and she discovers that her nose is actually gone! Worse yet, the nose leaps out of his pocket and, being “extremely runny,” proceeds to lead its two pursuers on a merry chase. Endowed with stick limbs in Willan’s cartoon illustrations, the snub but speedy schnoz blows past onlookers (comments one: “If I could pick any nose, I’d certainly pick that one!”) until Grandpa at last resnatches and reattaches it. Grateful Becky finally agrees with his conclusion—a proposition that Katz has been preaching for many years—that “you’re never too old for silly fun.” Storytime audiences will be delighted to go with the flow, particularly in pairings with similarly perambulatory proboscises, such as Jason Eaton’s The Day My Runny Nose Ran Away or Catherine Cowan’s adaptation of the surreal Nikolai Gogol’s The Nose. - Copyright 2022 Booklist.
