Barron's Comparisons

by Almuth Bartl, Judith Winstel

Preschoolers love guessing games--and that's what they get in Finger Quiz books. Eddie, a comical duck, uses a cartoon-style illustration on every page to pose a question. At the bottom of the page are three possible answers in the form of three smaller pictures, each with a round finger hole die-cut through the page. Only one hole points to the right answer. Kids make their guess by putting their finger into just one of the holes, then flipping the page to find the answer. They'll see Eddie Duck pointing at one hole. If it's the hole that matches their finger, they've answered the question correctly! 30 finger quizzes on heavyweight paper in each book. Kids study each picture to find the item below it that compares correctly. For example, a brightly colored dish has a piece broken out of it. Kids find the right piece from the three finger hole examples at the page's bottom. (Ages 4-6)
