BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) ESSENTIAL
APPEALS TO: MANY
Rosen and Oxenbury have done it again! What an incredible picture book! An adorable little boy goes from shop to shop, requesting various items—a hat, a coat, a cake, a chair—yet instead of his requested items, he is given a completely different (and hilarious) object instead. Each "item" is wrapped in a fun guessing-game manner that will delight readers.
"I went to the shop to get me a coat. Oh dear, they gave me..." This repetitive phrase, with the magical answer on the page turn, will excite readers of all ages. What a fun and adorable book! We loved the illustrations. We loved guessing the hidden/wrapped item! This would be a fun book to teach a unit on rhyming. Readers will delight in the little boy's joy in unwrapping his final item. There is a fun rendition of "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly" near the end of the book. Perfect picture book!
