This colorfully stylish flap book uses rhyming text to ask the repetitive question: “Do you know which ones will grow?” Each two page spread compares an animal with an inanimate object. For instance, one question features a polar bear cub that grows into a bear and asks kids if a stool can grow into a chair. Kids are encouraged to answer “Yes” or “No,” but the answers aren’t given on the individual pages. After a set of four questions the book recaps the questions and provides answers before mov...more
Do You Know Which Ones Will Grow? by Susan A. Shea, illustrated by Tom Slaughter is an interactive lift-the-flap book about growth, with questions about animals versus inanimate objects.
Slaughter's colorful illustrations using cut paper transform into something else when the flaps are lifted. The simple design is very appealing. My favorite images include the cover, polar bears, stool to chair, sweater to coat, snakelet & snake, cupcake to cake, pickup to rig, watch to clock, joey & kang...more

The minute I read about this book, I knew it was one I wanted to get. The younger children that I work with really enjoy interactive books. The concept is a fun one (checking the reader's knowledge of what things change shape or size over time and which things don't) and the flaps are pretty cool too. I had fun reading the book and even laughed at the end. I decided to try this book out on my almost four-year-old nephew, Action Boy. I had to catch him between 'adventures.' Sure enough, he liked...more
Because I'm a librarian I like to slot books into distinct categories. Alphabet book. Concept book. Emotions book. So on. Other people like it too. That's why I keep a file of different lists of books by topic at my reference desk. There are some books that don't fit into any category, and that's fine. They're cool. They prove that the publishing industry today allows for creativity. Then there's a third category; books that belong to categories where they are the sole occupants. Meet Do You Kno...more

The book sets out to ask readers which items grow and is tailored for children who know they are growing bigger. The book features items like bear cubs, baseball caps, stools, and fox kits. The text on each page is structured as rhyming text. Children will enjoy answering the questions such as: Does a car grow to become a truck? (Children really like answering questions like this.) Each pa...more
This is simply the most delightful picture book I’ve read so far this year.
In snappy rhyme, the book compares objects that grow with those that “rust, fade or break.”
If an owlet grows to be an owl, will a washcloth grow to be a towel?
Each double spread asks a similar question and the right side page opens in some way to reveal that the “non-growable” object did indeed grow. Even young children will recognize the silliness and be amused.
There were several new words for Steven: (fox) kit, (goat) k...more

Do You Know Which Ones WIll Grow by Susan A. Shea is a great picture poetry book for children. This book is such a fun book for children. Each page you flip through is co colorful, and has many different images that are inside different shapes. Its also fun because the way the Author wrote this and had the illustrations behind it, you can really ask the students, so if a duckling makes a duck, does a car make a truck? it would be fun to see their reactions and their answers as well. when you fli...more

Written bby Susan Shea & Illustrated by Tom Slaughter. Published 2012 by Blue Apple Books, Maplewood, NJ. Art work is done with colored paper cut outs and water color painting backgrounds. This is a cute picture book which show a lot of different items and talks about if they will grow. It asks questions, asks readers to think and then gives the answer. Some pages have parts to open or slide up/down to look at. Lots of visual pictures with bold, primary colors and block type printing or use...more
"If a snakelet becomes a snake, can a cupcake grow and become a (lift-the-flap) cake?" How do I love thee, "Do You Know Which Ones Will Grow?" Let me count the ways.
1.I didn't know they were called snakelets, so yay for learning vocabulary in context.
2. Nothing like lifting a flap to grab a young audience.
3. Love the rhyming practice we get to guess the right answer.
4. Half way through the book, we stop to get the answer (yes to these, no to those) and then we go to round two, which ends with...more

My boys (ages 4 & 8) and I all loved this book! I almost didn't pick it up because the cover isn't that interesting and I don't like books where the pages lift since they usually just rip. I'm glad I decided to take a chance with this one. It's a darling, rhyming, book.
My 4-year-old loves vehicles so he loved that the question "can a car grow and become . . . a truck?" He also loved "can a cupcake grow and become . . . a cake?"

some things grow, like you and me...more

Do You Know Which One Will Grow? is a predictable storybook that helps develop a child's cognitive thoughts. The book is written in a rhyming scheme that helps children predict the next word, hidden within a fold out page. Colorful and bright, the pictures help to keep the child's attention and wonder while helping to lead to the prediction of the hidden word. The nouns are highlighted and enlarged in each phrase and help to draw the reader's connection between rhyming words, and ultimately the...more
A sort of concept book that would be really fun to use in preschool storytime--especially if I had them trying to guess what the rhyming word would be instead of just the Yes and No. Toddlers would enjoy the yes and no part, perhaps. Both groups would love the flaps format. I'm not sure if older kids will like this one as much. But if they look at the format and illustrations, maybe they can see some of the cleverness in the book instead of thinking it too baby-ish for them. I like having this a...more
"If a duckling grows and becomes a duck, can a car grow and become . . . [open flap] a truck?" With large, sturdy flaps that open in different directions, children will have fun guessing/predicting what the objects will turn into. The rhymes will give them an additional clue to what the object is (bear - chair, goat - coat) and they can respond with yes or no to the recurring question of "Will it grow?" Bright, mainly primary colored pictures, slightly abstract, will appeal to toddlers and presc...more
Simple, brightly colored, paper cut illustrations create a wonderful background for this fun concept book. Just as the title indicates, the author asks "Do you know which ones will grow?" --showing both things that grow and things that don't. The comparisons are quite funny and silly, for example, "If a duckling becomes a duck, can a car become ...." lift a flap and it reveals, "a truck?" The rhyming text further enhances an already delightful book. What a wonderful way to start talking about th...more
PreK teachers will love this picture book that combines rhymes, riddles, bright colors and varying typefaces to teach little ones about things that grow and things that don't.
Opening spread:
If a duckling grows and becomes a duck,
can a car grow and become...
a truck?
A few pages later we get this Seuss-ian summary:
YES to ducks, bears, and owls.
NO to trucks, chairs, and towels.
YES to cats.
NO to hats.
YES to goats.
NO to coats.
Bright, bold, and fun to say out loud, this book is now on my T...more

This interactive and engaging book will have children eagerly answering the questions inside. The book is all about whether something is alive or not, whether it will grow or not. Told in rhyming sets of questions, the final rhyme and answer is hidden beneath another flip-out page that makes it into a guessing game for the rhyme. So in the first pages, “If a ducking grows and becomes a duck, can a car grow and become…” Turn the page and you find “a truck?” The flaps also have die cut holes in th...more
Mock Caldecott's away... I like the interactivity here of asking the questions of the reader: if this (organic thing) grows into this (other organic thing), can this (non-organic thing) grow into this (other non-organic thing). Each interactive question is heightened by the lift-the-flap reveal/transformation of the one non-organic thing into the other. In that way it's both smart and fun. There is no note on exactly what the art is composed of, although it looks mostly to be cut and torn paper...more
Here's another fantastic holler-out-the-answer storytime book. "If a calf grows and becomes a cow, can a shovel grow and become a plow?"
Numerous things to like:
Giant bold illustrations that read from across the room.
Big fold-out flaps reveal surprises.
The author chooses animals for whom the baby word is less-familiar than the standard kitten and puppy - joey, kit, owlet, kid.
So extensible! I can see a kindergarten class reading this book and then going for a walk around the neighborhood.

This book is great in checking students knowledge of what things change shape or size over time and which things never change. Great rhyming and interactive book. I love the flapbook style, children will enjoy guessing what is under the flap and learning rhyming words. An example of this could be " If a duckling grows and becomes a duck, can a car grow and become a _____" ( lift flap and discover what's underneath. Great book for highlighting comparisons.

Such a fabulous book! The author is a former teacher - so she has such a good handle on sharing a concept with kids in a fun way. She looks at the concept of growing and uses repetition and rhyme to create a structure to the book, along with the repeated question of the title. Fabulous fabulous fabulous. It's a perfect storytime book - involved enough to make you think, but doesn't take forever to read.

Beehive book award nominee, 2012. This would be a fun introductory book in third grade for the science unit on living and nonliving things. Each double page spread presents a living thing and then nonliving thing. If a duckling becomes a duck, will a car...(lift the flap) grow into a truck? Bright colors, fun illustrations, nice rhyming pattern and lift the flaps. What more could you want from a picture book?
"If a duckling grows and becomes a duck, can a car grow and ... become a truck?"
Sure cats and polar bears grow, but what about stools, caps, and sweaters? Through on-point rhymes and lift the flap surprises, Do You Know Which Ones Will Grow will charm masses of readers.
Cut paper illustrations employ loads of primary colors, making everything bright and bold. A wonderfully entertaining success. -TJ

Summary: Poses rhyming questions about what grows and what does not.
Great book for a read aloud or sitting one and one with a child.
"If a duckling grows and becomes a duck...Can a car grow and become a (flip open page) a truck?
Great rhymes, pictures correlate directly with text, pictures turn from one thing to another with flaps, etc. This could also be a great beginning reader book.

This is a book that will get your kids shouting out the answers and guessing at the rhymes. We start reading with the instructions to "Think, then answer yes or no". We are taken through a bunch of things that grow and things that do not. "If a duckling grows and becomes a duck, can a car grow and become a truck?" The bright illustrations and flaps to lift make this book incredibly enjoyable.
A terrific rhyming lift-the-flap book with simple, colorful illustrations. As the title implies, the book asks the reader which of the items will grow. "If a duckling grows and becomes a duck, can a car grow and become...[lift the flap to see] a truck?" After each series of verses, there's a page of "Yes to ducks, bears and owls. No to trucks, chairs and towels." Absolutely wonderful!

This will be fun to share in a storytime. I'm always curious to see how the reasoning skills are developing in the kids who come to storytime. I like how the nonliving items grow into bigger versions of themselves. Even though they don't "grow" like the living things do, it provides an opportunity to talk about the similarities and differences between say, a shovel and a plow.
Do You Know Which Ones Will Grow begs to be read to young children. The elements of rhyme and repetition make it a perfect read-aloud. I found many of our beginning readers could read it on their own after a couple of shared readings, so it's a favorite in the "try it" box of books for our emergent readers, The vibrant pictures and lift-the-flap excitement just add to the fun.
