"In an era specializing in dark predictions, Yoshitake (I
Can Be Anything) gives young readers a new way of thinking
about what's to come. . . . It's easy to smile at Yoshitake's
square-headed characters and endless stream of lighthearted thought
experiments in this gently goofy book, which offers a hopeful
corrective to grown-up pessimism."-Publishers Weekly---
"A child who doesn't like her choices discovers the revolutionary
promise of thinking outside the box. . . . Yoshitake creates a
vivacious cast, using dots, tiny dashes, subtle body angles, and
expressive gestures to great effect. . . . Long thoughts and fresh
heart for readers feeling helpless in the face of scary
futures."-Kirkus Reviews, starred review---
"Shinsuke Yoshitake, the popular Japanese author-illustrator of
many award-winning books, including "I Can Be Anything" and "The
Boring Book," considers how overwhelming the future can be to a
child in There Must Be More Than That!. . . . Yoshitake is a
master of thoughtfully working with a Big Problem-in this case, the
future-and recasting it in an approachable, humorous way that a
youngster can deal with. The pictures that accompany the text,
drawn in an unadorned cartoon style in primary colors, do a good
job of briskly moving this entertaining, yet serious, story
along."-The New York Times---
