He had been the host for the past four years and he was terrific at it. Welcome to The Best Thing in the World Awards, announced the host, Neil Patrick Harris. The fun isn’t whether love is going to win. Everyone knew that and watched anyway, perhaps more eagerly, the way that people are more willing to get caught up in a certain type of movie when they have a sense that, deep down, of course love is going to win in the end. Others were new: Internet on planes, spicy tuna on crispy rice. Summer evenings, the score to West Side Story, laughter, Christmas, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Peace, which was often a finalist during times of war, but was otherwise not nominated. Losing gracefully, which never won but was always nominated. Love, Jesus Christ, Julia Louis Dreyfus on Seinfeld. This is a story inspired by this season of lists and best-ofs and awards, and it’s called “The Best Thing in the World Awards.” Hardcover (Chinese) (September 1st, 2019): $38.Thank you very much."A perfectly-pitched tool for parental humiliation and childish glee."- The Boston Globe Product Details "Will have little ones laughing and finding a new appreciation for words."- Entertainment Weekly "Unlike any of the children's books you read growing up.".
