This picture book has a simple premise: the title question is repeated next to the partial nose and toes of a particular animal (nicely bleeding over the page edge.) For the answer, turn the page and see the animal in all its glory. The repetitive nature of the exercise should delight very young children, as should the quite elegant rendering of the creatures in pastel crayons. It is a pleasure to see the fine work of an old school master of realism turn up in a book for this age group. This reader's only quibble is calling the obvious duckling a duck—and the non gender-specific calf a cow. But a toddler is not likely to split straws over the issue. Overall, it is a fine book. 2004, Viking, Ages 2 to 5.—Kathleen Karr
