Oh No!
Or How My Science Project Destroyed the World
Golden Duck Award, 2011
Description
Beloved author and National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature Mac Barnett and bestselling creator Dan Santat combine forces in one kid’s account of a science fair gone horribly and hilariously awry!
Some kids are too smart for their own good…and maybe for everybody else’s good. When an overly ambitious little girl builds a humongous robot for her science fair, she fully expects to win first place. What she doesn’t expect is the chaos that follows! “I probably shouldn’t have given it a superclaw, or a laser eye, or the power to control dogs’ minds,” she laments. Kids, don’t try this at home!
“A must-have.” —Kirkus Reviews
Don’t miss the sequel, Oh No! Not Again!: (Or How I Built a Time Machine to Save History)

Praise
"Santat's brilliantly hued digital illustrations are the perfect foil for Barnett's almost-wordless tale of a science project gone awry.... In a world where technology progresses rapidly and consequences are often not anticipated, this lesson in 'I should have' is subtle, never preachy and always action-packed. A must-have."
—Kirkus Reviews
"This graphic novel in picture-book form will appeal to the Captain Underpants set.... The dialogue balloons, dramatic perspectives, and graphic style bring a true comic-book sensibility to this funny story that's loaded with child appeal."
—School Library Journal
"Santat and Barnett collaborate seamlessly on this slapstick adventure about a pigtailed, bespectacled science fair entrant trying unsuccessfully to control her prize-winning robot."
