AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

This is a tall format book that uses the pattern of asking the reader one question per two space spread. The questions includes a word that is in both black and red ink and if you look only at the red letters, you will know the answer to the questions. For example, the first question is Who is the headmaster? and the answer is hamster. 

A fun experience to share with my child who is brand new to reading. He felt so proud to pull the answers out of the questions. It was a fun way to engage with language and reading in a nontraditional way.
