Ready, Set, Roll!

by Alessandro Montagnana

A hilarious story about how far one little roll of toilet paper can go, framed by a fun animal cast and an adorable father-son duo.

One sunny morning, something interesting is left behind in the woods. Is it a headband? A kite? A toy? No! It's a roll of toilet paper. But the possibilities for play are endless.

That is, until the rain comes and destroys the evidence. Oh no! Whatever will they do?

Ready, Set, Roll! is a laugh-out-loud picture book that shows how even ordinary items can inspire extraordinary imagination and play. Perfect for fans of The Squirrels Who Squabbled and The Leaf Thief.

I think there is a very simple kids program told in this book, where you just give a bunch of toddlers a roll of toilet paper and see what happens.

Forest animals find a strange white roll of...something. They make it into ties, headbands, and padding for nests...even confetti! Until it rains. Then a young boy arrives, beckoning the birds to bring the remnants of white stuff back. Kids will enjoy being in on the joke (it's toilet paper).

A roll of toilet paper is found in the woods by some animals and they use it to play games, decorate themselves and their homes. It's a silly book with few words and kids will love seeing what the animals do with the toilet paper.

What happens when a group of animals finds a roll of toilet paper in the woods? - They have fun with it, of course! A silly reaction to an everyday object (especially toilet paper) that kids could relate to. It will get a ton of laughs with kids. This is a great read aloud for all age groups!

Forest animals playing with a roll of toilet paper. There is not much to the story though.

[Panda Incognito · Rating 3 out of 5]

The story is minimal and involves some confusing transitions, but the illustrations are really cute, and the concept is fun.

The pictures are funny but the writing was a bit lacking.
