Children's Literature
What is it like to play hide and seek with a bear or to take a bath with a bug? In David McPhail's new book, young readers can follow the adventures of three friends: a boy, a bear, and a bug. In each "chapter" or episode, McPhail explores the concept of size by describing how the bear (large), the boy (medium), and the bug (small) approach each situation. McPhail's delightful illustrations and simple text make this book a natural for the easy-reader format. Lots of repetition, familiar situations (such as eating, bathing, sleeping, and playing), and short episodes combine to hit the mark for preschoolers and first graders. While the short episodes are helpful to a beginning reader, in this case they also prevent the development of a strong story line. Nevertheless, beginning readers will find great satisfaction in reading this "Hello Reader" series book all by themselves.
