A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"Pairing Yi s Wallace & Gromit-style clay pictorials with Morse s rhyming ride through the history of punk music across the globe, the children s book is ready to raise the next generation of riot grrrls....You re going to want to give "What Is Punk?" as a gift at every baby shower this year. Just don t be surprised if your niece ends up bleaching her hair blonde and tearing up her leather jacket at age 6."
--"Bustle"
""What Is Punk?" belongs on the bookshelves of music-loving parents, because Morse s creative, charming narrative and Yi s unforgettable clay scenes bring to life the genesis of a music that s all about freedom and energy, and they do so in an amusing way that has my kid excited to travel down the many rabbit holes of punk history."
--"Westword Denver"
"This book is great! I love looking at the perfectly detailed clay animated photos. What a great way to teach my child about the energy and hard-edged spirit of punk music!"
--All Beautiful Mommies
"Written by Trampoline House founder Eric Morse in classically Suessical iambic, the book is lusciously illustrated with photographs of Play-Doh recreations of all mommy s and daddy s favorite punk heroes: the Ramones, Iggy and the Stooges--and Debbie Harry, David Byrne, David Johansen, Tom Verlaine, and Lou Reed all standing in front of CBGBs."
--Bedford & Bowery
"This is an incredibly cute book telling of punk rock's history in rhyme with claymation type illustrations....Read it to your child and, maybe, play the music! Teach 'em young."
--Iced Tea Diaries
"With its clay illustrations and rhyming couplets, "What Is Punk?" introduces kids to the likes of The Clash, Sex Pistols, The Ramones and punk idols like Siouxsie Sioux. The book exposes the little ones to punk s rebellious side in a G-rated way, while also making note of the sub-culture s desire for equality and inclusiveness."
--"MusicFeeds"
"Every once in a while, a children's book comes along that will entertain parents (or grandparents) even more than it will kids. "What Is Punk?" is precisely that sort of book....Morse writes fluid verse that sounds something like Dr. Seuss, although the subject matter is dramatically different. Instead of green eggs and ham, Morse writes about the punk movement...Accompanying the text are Yi's striking illustrations . . . ["What Is Punk?" is] informative and sweet."
--"The Oklahoman"
"Are you sick of flipping through candy-coloured picture books full of frolicking, anthropomorphic animals with your young ones? Want them to learn something about your own youthful obsessions? Well this book is a great introduction to punk as written for kids."
--"Sydney Morning Herald"
"A creative claymation-influenced illustrated condensed history of punk rock for kids....This highly imaginative narrative verse condensation of Punk history is ideally illustrated with detailed clay figures and objects that define state of the art punk in a truly unique and fun, zany way. Just like Punk."
--Midwest Book Review

"[A] lively, clay figure-illustrated primer on all things punk. With a bouncy cadence perfect for reading aloud, "What is Punk?" delves into the history of punk from the early days of CBGB, the Clash and the Velvet Underground to later acts like Henry Rollins and Sleater-Kinney.
