Customer Reviews

my two year old loves it

And so do I. It is rather surreal (which works for us) -- a great companion is Elephant Elephant: A Book of Opposites.

Interesting, creative

My 3 year old son has enjoyed this book for 1 year now. The pictures suggest interesting visual similarities and provide a welcome change from the usual text story. very enjoyable for both parent and child.

Oh!

When I share this book with students I alert them to determine what the title might signify. It isn't long before my students are whispering, "Oh!" as the meaning of the story becomes clear. They are excited to make connections and notice the clues so cleverly left by the author. Another very indepth story without words that causes students to think beyond the conventional and to be creative in their interpretation of the book.

Great discussion starter in classrooms of all ages.

Elementary teacher and high school teachers will love this book for its creative illustrations. It will provoke students to draw their own OH! ideas. The opportunities to provoke writing are endless. My students love it!! They ask me to bring it out again and again. Never has a picture book been so accepted in my classroom.
