Synopsis

A rhyming picture book for 3-5 year-olds that poses playful questions about some of children's favorite things, like the moon, clouds, frogs and raindrops. From whish-a-woo to peek-a-boo! the answers to the questions make for lively poetry. Warm, charming illustrations depict familiar scenes for little ones.

Children's Literature

Questions posed for preschoolers are answered in whimsical ways. The wind says, "Whish-a-Whoo." The moon plays "Peek-a-boo!" The stars "Twinkle bright," and daddies "Kiss good night." The rhyming text continues in this same vein with questions and answers about a sunbeam, a storm cloud, a dirt patch, mommy's arms, rain, a frog, a cat, and a baby. Large, colorful illustrations depict the joy and the action of each scene, many of which show parents and children enjoying the simple pleasures of life together. In one picture, a snow-woman mother smiles sweetly, as one branch arm reaches out for a snow child and the other branch cuddles a snow baby. Another noteworthy illustration features a family of five lying on the ground and forming a star with their hands and arms. An enjoyable book for parents to share with small children.

School Library Journal

PreS-K-This is a sweet story to be shared with young children again and again. Soft watercolor art and pleasant rhymes make it a good choice for bedtime sharing, and the repetitive questions and patterned replies enable youngsters to "read" along. For example, "What do the stars do?/Twinkle bright./What does your daddy do?/Kiss good night." While the concept is nothing new or groundbreaking, this title will be an appealing addition to most collections.-Anne L.
