But not just any old activity! It needs to be terrific. . . . Gilmore’s unusual story is playfully dark and very funny, with stylized illustrations, rendered in watercolor and pens, fabulously detailed and expressive. The net result is a book that is silly and scary and—you guessed it—absolutely terrific.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist (starred review)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Five friends—Turtle, Anteater, Badger, Mandrill, and Owl—try to decide on a ‘terrific’ activity to do together.
