Frustrated by a less than perfect score on her history test, a young overachiever builds a time machine to go back and change history so that her answer is correct. The results are not what she anticipates.It’s a vivid and very funny time travel tale that can be shared with the youngest audience or reader, and comes complete with time machine diagram and a “Time Transit Services” map. Barnett, Mac, and Dan Santat. Oh No! Not Again!: (or How I Built a Time Machine to save History) (or at Least My History Grade). New York: Disney-Hyperion, 2012. Print.Oh No! Not Again! was a very creative time travel picture book. The premise is that a little girl is upset that she got a question wrong on a history test. She decides to go back in time to make her answer correct. But time is a strange thing and things get worse. Mac Barnett has written the Brixton Brothers series, a parody of The Hardy Boys Series and has proven himself an author that infuses his books with humor. I highly recommend this book for library collections for children. This book is best for children ages 3-6. I give it four stars.
Loved the illustrations, but I was disappointed by the storyline.
