Items related to Too Busy Marco
It's time for bed again, and Marco, a small red bird who lives with his (human) mother and father, simply has too much to do! He's got masterpieces to paint, underwater inventions to create, halfpipes to skate -- or better yet, inventions to create so that he can paint underwater while skateboarding at a world-class level! How can it possibly all get done? When one idea builds on top of another, and every object he encounters just screams inspiration, why would Marco ever want to put on his pajamas and brush his beak? With humor and a great deal of energy, this delightful new character from acclaimed illustrator Roz Chast will rev kids up and wear them out--just in time for bed.

From Booklist:
Roz Chast is a staff cartoonist for The New Yorker and is the illustrator of Steve Martin’s popular children’s book The Alphabet from A to Y with Bonus Letter Z. She lives in Connecticut with her husband and two children. She is also the author and illustrator of Too Busy Marco, Marco Goes to School, and Around the Clock.
Marco’s an interesting bird. Red-feathered, beady-eyed, baseball-capped, and surrounded by a million toys, chemistry sets, musical instruments, and board games, he has far too much to do to follow his mother’s bedtime edict. Just think of all the better ways to spend one’s time! So begin the wild fantasies, each one piggybacking on the other until all sense of time is joyously lost. Marco dreams about painting his masterpiece, which leads to plans for discovering new fish (like the Cube-headed La-Di-Dah), which leads to the invention of underwater paint, which leads to other inventions like invisibility gum, which leads to . . . well, you get the idea. Soon his genius becomes too much, and Marco freaks: Couldn’t he just have five teeny-tiny, eentsy-weentsy, bitsy-witsy, small, little, miniature, microscopic, shrimpy, measly MINUTES?!? The irreverent asides of the doodly watercolor-and-gouache illustrations betray Chast’s New Yorker cartooning background, and to swell effect. Kids will recognize the disgruntled bristle of Marco’s plumage and agree: life is unfair! Parents, meanwhile, will tell them to go to bed anyway. Preschool-Grade 2. --Daniel Kraus
