THE SHORT VERSION: This book is extraordinary: it's elegant in its simplicity, beautiful on the eyes, and is a delightful story that you won't mind reading over and over again. (Thank goodness for that because you know the kids will ask you to!) I highly recommend this book as a gift for that special young person in your life or as an addition to your own library.THE LONG VERSION: I was in my local bookstore when this book caught my eye from all the way across the room. What appealed to me was the monochromatic design of the cover with its intense color and contrast. As I approached it, and began to flip through the pages, I knew this one was coming home with me.I was delighted to learn from Chris Haughton's website that this picture book of a hundred words or so took him two years to create from start to finish. There's something to be said for taking your time to produce high quality work like this one.I really enjoy children's books that have a certain simplicity to them, where all of the words and images have been streamlined. Shh! We Have a Plan definitely fits into this category with a word count of about one hundred. I find there's a certain elegance to anything that can be simplified in this way, much like Apple technology. The natural ease with which you can navigate this book is very appealing.Even though the pallet begins as monochromatic, the contrast turns it into visual eye candy. The illustrations are straightforward enough that the reader brings his or her own imagination to the story. Are the characters children, a family, friends? Are they Asian? Caucasian? Inuits? Indian? Vikings? Are they boys or girls? I love that Chris Haughton gives his readers credit instead of spelling out every detail of his vision for this book.
