‘‘SPLAT!’’ is an ideas book that takes one simple concept and runs with it. There is an even rarer group that rely on something else – their idea. Some books rely on their story, others their images.
It is up to you to help the creature out as they make their way through a very messy book. What happens when you splat the two pages together? Perhaps our hero will receive an eyes and mouth, or perhaps they will become covered in cream or bugs. On one page we have our hero (or should we call that victim), on the other page something else. ‘‘SPLAT!’’ is as much a statement of intent as it is a book. Therefore, why not enjoy the mayhem without the harlequin? One thing that they do have going for them is the slapstick humour and although we may not enjoy clowns themselves, we do enjoy watching someone get smacked in the face with a custard pie. Wait a minute, does anyone like a clown? They are as likely to make a child cry as they are to make them laugh.
