Klappentext

Readers get to peer in at the oddities hidden in some unusual basements in this amusingly peculiar tale!

The Robinsons have just moved into their house on Blackberry Street. They've been getting to know all its many lovely spaces. And then they head down to the basement. It's, well ... weird. The tiled walls. The trunks full of divers' suits. The giant drain stopper in the floor. What could it all mean? Luckily, their neighbors arrive just then, and soon everything becomes crystal clear. You see, all the basements on Blackberry Street are weird, each in its own way. The Robinsons' basement just happens to be the weirdest of them all!

Children will be delighted to discover what's just below the surface in this wildly imaginative picture book. Author Kate Jenks Landry's story is sure to pique the interest of young children for whom basements can be alluring and mysterious. The basements on Blackberry Street contain curiosities that range from jarred pickled armadillo feet (yum!) to a gigantic cardboard city. The cast of neighborhood characters are just as intriguing as the marvels in their basements. Gorgeous, whimsical artwork in deep saturated colors by award-winning illustrator Marie Lafrance perfectly sets the quirky tone of the book. The story makes an excellent read-aloud. It can spark inventive exercises in imagining what surprises might be discovered in other parts of a house - or even at school!
