Great parable for adults and kids
Parable, children’s literature
Responsibility, obligations, and consequences. The young boy is tired of chores and rebels. Enchanting and full wisdom, and written with a poet’s eye. The art is simple and conveys the main ideas, but it’s not simplistic. It’s a great pairing of art and story. Enjoyed. Wish I had kids to share this with.

Families , friends, teachers, friends with family young or old.
I just finished this beautiful little book, and it was absolutely amazing! Each of its four chapters is a unique gem, filled with golden nuggets of wisdom and insight that resonated deeply. The story is crafted with such elegance and simplicity, offering tiny treasures of inspiration. I chose the hardcover because, as a book lover, I truly appreciate the artistryâboth in words and illustrations, which are spectacular and bring an extra layer of magic to the experience. This book is a true delight, a keepsake worth revisiting again and again for its timeless messages. Add this one to your collection for sure ð¤

This will be understood and loved by children and adults, but in different ways. An instant classic.
This is a review of Into the Uncut Grass by Trevor Noah. I recently saw Trevor Noah interviewed, and I immediately bought the book before the interview was even finished. I was so impressed with the concept for the book and the fact that this book was written in a way that will entertain and enchant children, but will also be enjoyed by adults because adults will be able to see the story from a different perspective.
In the Introduction, the author says it best; “By daring to dream of what could be rather than resigning ourselves to what is, we unlock the potential for true and lasting resolution by bridging divides and forging new paths where none seemed possible.” The book explores ways in which conflict can be resolved or at least understood. Conflict with a child who is at odds with his parents for making his bed. Conflict between two snails upon which path to take.
It must also be said that the illustrations are excellent. I would buy this book simply for the illustrations they are that beautiful. This is destined to become a children’s classic.
As a sidenote, one of my favorite children’s books when I was growing up was Harold and the Purple Crayon. Apparently there’s a movie out about that, I have not seen it, but I can highly recommend that book as well.

Book Review: Into the Uncut Grass by Trevor Noah
You might think #trevornoah âs lane is the comedy club stage, but with Into the Uncut Grass, heâs stepped off the stage and into a world of quiet wonder. And surprisingly, it works. This book brought me right back to those days when Iâd make friends with imaginary creatures and believe the backyard was a hidden jungle kingdom. Itâs lighthearted yet somehow stirs up all those hidden depthsâkind of like The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse, but with Trevorâs unique warmth splashed across every page.
Reading it felt like finding an old map back to my imagination, the kind that had been tucked away for years. I couldnât help but feel that familiar freedomâthe kind that only comes when youâre young and limitless, when âpretendâ isnât just a game but an entire world of possibility. And just when you think youâre floating away on the nostalgia cloud, he brings in these lines that anchor you, like âIf you still call it home, you can always go back.â A simple sentence, but somehow it gets you right in the heart.
#IntotheUncutGrass is technically a picture book, but donât let that fool youâitâs not just for kids. This oneâs for kids to share with parents, parents to share with kids, and maybe even for grown-ups who need a break from âadulting.â Itâs dedicated to the imagination that lives in all of us, waiting patiently for us to wander back and explore.

Sweetâ¦but I wanted more.
The boy and his teddy bear, Walter, start the day. Walter wants to follow rules and be responsible. Chores before adventure. The boy wants to Goooooo! Off they go Into the Uncut Grass.
It is a sweet story of friendship, self-exploration, and considering the perspectives of others. The story uses the journey, a gnome and some snails, to advise and illustrate how shifting oneâs perspective is an important skill for learning and growing together.
It fell short of one conversation for me. I wanted to see the boy return home and ask his mother why the rules had to be followed. I wanted to see him apply the skills he had observed on his journey. I wanted to see him work it out with her. I expected to see this, because of the way it was written. I loved the book, but this twinge of disappointment means I can not give it 5 stars.
Trevor, I lived in South Africa from 1995-1999.
I cried watching Invictus, because I marveled at a country who had transitioned from Apartheid with so much grace. Nelson Mandela was a beautiful person. My fifth son was born in South Africa. I wish you could come eat Indian food with us the next time you are in North Carolina. We love you.

Beautiful book
Trevorâs story about perspective and conflict resolution is thoughtful and beautiful. The illustrations are lovely. Itâs an easy read and meant for both children and adults. I plan to gift my copy to my daughter so she can share it with her daughter. Thank you Trevor!

What the world needs now
Absolutely stunning book for adults and children alike. I think Trevor Noah has been peeping on the happenings in our home. The challenge of the sand paper experience in what should be a harmonious home takes on a whole new look! The earlier we learn about the nature of conflict the sooner we will live unburdened from the irritation of it. Well done Trevor!!!

If I were to write a book about Trevor Noah I would entitle it not Born as a Crime I would entitle it Born as Gift to Humanity. He is a sheer delight and we are so happy that he has spoken to us through many avenues, writing, comedy shows and his always thought provoking podcasts and his Brilliant Minds discussions. When I listen to him or read his works I am uplifted and he takes me on a journey of sheer happiness and knowledge of lifeâs experiences which he shares and opens his heart to all of us. This book Into the Uncut Grass will be shared with my loved ones so I too may see their eyes light up with curiosity and joy!
Continue your great works of inspiration.

Itâs difficult finding childrenâs books that arenât either completely arbitrary, too short or too boring for the adult to be interested. Most childrenâs books seem lazy to me and I find myself wondering how authors get away with it. Itâs probably a scam industry like most other industries. This is a thoughtful book which has made story time fun again for a few days

Bought it for my wife. She went through it in less than an hour and loved it. I’m going to read it next. I’m interested in anything Trevor and this wasn’t an exception either.

Bought for my great-granddaughter (9)â¦my granddaughter (her mother) has a Masters Degree in Education and she said it was funny, entertaining, kept attention, prompted discussion and taught life lessons.
