Put Kids to Sleep with Laughter: New Children's Book, Molly Wonders, Brings Humor to Bedtime Reading

April 17, 2013 - PRLog -- Young children are curious and inherently imaginative. They are also persistent with their questions. In her new picture book series, author Robyn Safarian, has captured the essence of childhood curiosity and persistence in a humorous tone that resonates with her young audience.

Molly, the main character, is true to life with her portrayal of a kindergarten age girl. She wants to know why, how, when or where something happens. Her incessant questions know no boundaries. Jack is her best friend. He generally bears the funny brunt of Molly's questions.

Jack sets the tone at the opening of the book, "This is Molly. She is my best friend. Molly asks lots of questions. Sometimes I don't know how to answer them. Sometimes her questions are very funny. This is what happened the other day at school."

In the first installment of the Molly and Jack picture book series, Molly Wonders How Did You Get the Hiccups, Jack has the hiccups, and Molly is on a mission to determine the reason. What follows is a series of irrelevant yet humorous questions that are bound to make the reader laugh.

"I had no intention to include hidden 'moral values' and 'virtues' in this picture book. I just wanted to give kids a funny break. With everyone tied up in busy schedules, bedtime reading is a short period where families can come together, what better way than sharing this moment with laughter?" said author, illustrator Robyn Safarian. "Molly Wonders is a dialog between the two characters. This adds to the playful quality of the book as it allows readers to actively participate and act the story out with different voices. Portraying characters in a book will help a child make a personal connection to that character. Acting out a story also helps a child remember words and improve reading comprehension. It is also fun."

In the tradition of Kangaroo Kangaroo Where Are You?, Ms. Safarian's previous children book, the illustrations in Molly Wonders add a colorful and comedic synergy to the story. "The characters are incredibly funny and thoroughly believable," writes Indie Books for Children. "The interplay between the drawings and the text create an entertaining and engaging story for young readers."
