The Boy Who Knew Nothing — James Thorp

A boy full of questions sets out to find some answers in this silly, sublimely imaginative picture book.On the day he was born,before he could crawl,the boy who knew nothingknew nothing at all.On the faraway island of Solo Capoo lives a boy who knows nothing. Not his As and Bs, not his twos and threes, and certainly not the name of the strange pink creature he finds one day in the dress-up box. His father says it’s a sleepy giraffe, which seems wrong, so the boy sets out to discover the answer. But if all the wisest people in the land can’t tell what the creature is, how is a boy who knows nothing supposed to find out?
