The Eyes and the Impossible

“This is my favorite kid-friendly chapter book. I read it with B when he was 5 - it was endearing and hilarious. We still quote it years later…did the earth just shift? Must’ve been Johannes.”

“Yes yes yes! I cannot stop talking about how delightful this book is, and Ethan Hawke is just the perfect narrator!”

“The book has a wooden cover and the audiobook is read by Ethan Hawke (he does all the voices and it is charming!) and the story itself is a pure delight!”

“Found this one at the thrift and bought it for my daughter. Ended up reading it to her, and absolutely love the writing, message, and illustrations. A great read for any age!”

“Johannes the dog lives in the park as a free soul and serves as the eye to report everything that’s happening at the park to three ancient bisons (who keeps the lives at the park in equilibrium). There are seagulls, squirrels, raccoons, turtles, ducks, and goats. A story about self discovery, friendship, and growing up. My kids (7 and 5) are probably not quite ready for this yet, but I’d just listened to the audiobook. It is SO good - Ethan Hawke reads it and does the best voices. He gave such a great performance, 10/10”

“I LOVED reading this book with my boys! It is a fabulous kid-friendly chapter book.”

“Not necessarily a kids book, but a great book to read with your kids and talk about the ideas in it. It’s really funny and moving.”
