This book could turn anyone into a reader! A first purchase that would pair well with Oliver Jeffers’s The Incredible Book Eating Boy.
This would make a wonderful story time with Elizabeth Bluemle’s Tap Tap, Boom Boom or Colleen AF Venable’s The Oboe Goes Boom Boom Boom; a first purchase.
Even without the author’s note, this is a gentle but formidable addition to picture book collections everywhere; as nuanced as a poem, it spells out as much as it withholds and leaves readers with questions they’ll be inspired to try to answer themselves.
Imaginative and tender, this story may inspire conversations or projects around special objects in readers’ families; recommended for all collections.
