Review by Stephanie Kuchavik: Although this book provides no pictures, it promotes a fun way of how books work. The deeper meaning of the book is that everything that the words are saying on the page, the person who is reading the book has to say. There is different text within the book including, different colored texts, size difference and font differences. Each different text allows the reader to perceive different emotions.
This book would be useful when teaching children between the ages of three and eight.
There are many lesson plans that be derived from this book including:
