If you see a cuddly kitten, say ahhh! If you see a dozing dormouse, say shhh! But what if you see a spooky spider…or a cranky crocodile?
From a pretty peacock (oooh!) to some slimy slugs (yuck!), the animals depicted by acclaimed illustrator-author John Butler will delight the very young.
This simple, interactive look at various animals and the responses they evoke will coax giggles and spirited responses from young children as they follow along.
From the creator of the widely praised While You Were Sleeping and Hush, Little Ones, here is the perfect read-aloud book that young children will want to hear again and again.
John Butler is the author and illustrator of numerous books for children. He lives in England.
"The delicately detailed illustrations are quite wonderful... Situated against a plain creamy background, each intricately drawn creature is an exquisite naturalistic rendering, requiring no extra fanfare. Perfect for preschoolers and younger, Butler's tale easily lends itself to group read aloud settings, with each successive reading sure to become more riotous as the children become familiar with their responses." ?Kirkus Reviews
"Butler invites youngsters to revel in the reactions to 10 splendidly rendered portraits... Children, especially those on the younger end of the target audience, will likely embrace this handsome book's exhortations..." ?Publishers Weekly
"Although words are minimal, the illustrations, primarily in gold and brown tones across glossy spreads, are irresistible. This title will have particular appeal for toddlers." ?School Library Journal
"The best part of this book is the soft, realistic, luminescent illustrations, which lead readers through the questions and humorous answers." ?Observer Dispatch
