Laugh out loud!

My almost 4-year old son laughed out loud as Mr. Wani ran into Elephant's rear end. The illustrations are excellent and gave my son a serious case of the giggles. Of course all the silly voices I do for the animals help too! A great book that preschoolers will love to hear again and again.

We can't wait for Kanako Usui's next book

Our 17-month-old loves this book. He enjoys all of Mr Wani's misadventures - and especially likes Mrs Crow popping the balloons, and the two pages that need to be turned sideways to see Mr Wani plummeting from the sky. He also loves the window in the page near the end that allows you to see inside the Froggies' party. Even when the book is not at hand, we can entertain him by drawing Mr Wani's long crocodile nose and many teeth - though sadly not as well as the author draws him! We can't wait for Kanako Usui's next book.
