Fabulous book for the read-alone--there is so much going on!!! I was constantly flipping back and forth betwen pages trying to catch various things. By the end of the book with all the questions, I was able to answer each one without having to turn back. Ha ha. I'm so clever. :-) Honestly, it took me quite a lot of time to read this. It also very much helped that I knew going into this book that there were many different stories occuring. (Thanks to Author Z and his kids' review!) I really enjoy...more
In this wordless picture book, the humans leave the house and the animals go wild. Before the humans have been gone for ten minutes, the dog is putting on the human’s tennis shoes and the rabbit is combing her hair with the human’s brush. Other animals are popping out from books and photos on the wall and from where they’ve been hiding behind the curtains. It doesn’t take long for the house to be bedlam. When the humans are seen from the window to be returning, all the animals resume their norma...more
When the humans leave the house, the animals are left all alone and do some wild and silly things. In this wordless book by a Dutch illustrator, there are fifteen animals to try and keep track of. From one page to the next, they escape their confines, eat things, watch TV, and even fall in love and have babies. The front endpages have the animals’ names while the rear ones have questions about what happened in the story. It’s a fun book that requires eagle eyes to spot everything. It’s not a boo...more
This book is a wordless book about different animals being left home alone and what mischief they get in to. At the end of the book there are questions the reader can answer about each animal so they can see what their comprehension is on the picture book. If the reader reads the book multiple times, they can always find something new and different on each page that they didn't see before. This would be a fun book to introduce to young children.
This wordless picture book will be read over and over by little ones who like looking for details. When the family leaves the house, the animals (pets, pests, animals in pictures) take over. Each animal has his own escapade, and at the end of the book, the author asks questions like, "Why does the piggy have a stomachache?" Kids will go back to reread for each character to see what they do. Great for independent or paired reading.
What a cool book! In this wordless story, the humans leave, and the animals get into as much trouble as they can. This would be great for a seek-and-find fan or building narrative skills, because each animal has its own story as the pages turn. I tried to find the goldfish on each spread, and it was tricky! Endpapers prompt the reader with questions to answer about what happened and what was seen.
This one could provide quite a lot of looking fun. I spent my time looking for all the places where the fish went, since each new spot would require some liquid. But each animal is quite fun to follow, and they all get up to quite a lot of mischief. This would stand up to multiple viewings.
Clever and hilarious wordless picture book. So much is going on that it is almost overwhelming but the questions on the endpages are a great way to help a reader focus and really engage. And I still can't figure out why Helena is so yellow.
I imagine this wordless book being a blast to read with friends. Perhaps with nine other friends. Each friend can become one of the animals and go on that animal's journey through the book!
This caught my three year old's attention for many "readings". (There are no words in the book.) The book encourages you to look carefully at all parts of the pictures.
Really fun book, and high marks to the artist who made this picture book without words engaging. The story was very easy to follow along with...
Very cute wordless book in which the animals (pets, bugs, from pictures on the wall and in books) get a little crazy when the people leave the house!
Cute! So much going on in each page. I like the questions in the back of the book-it gives you something to look back for.
A search and find book with no words, but very interesting and funny pictures.
very cute- no words, just hilarious illustrations.
puzzle story-- who has done what? looks fun
LOL! This wordless story cracked me up! Whether or not kids will find it as funny as adults remains to be seen. I love the illustrations too.
