It could be the jaunty Seussian rhythms at play, but it has a classic quirkiness all its own--a blend of Calef Brown's Polkabats and Octopus Slacks and the good Dr. Seuss's The Cat in the Hat. With poem titles from "Ug the Bug" to "Eep the Sheep," you can see that the rhyme is not exactly subtle. Therein lies its charm. Take "Ow the Cow": I am Ow,While its simple rhymes make it perfect for building early reading skills, Shannon McNeill's action-packed illustrations (awash in a delicious color palette) give readers of all ages plenty to snicker over. In "Ake the Snake," for example, the snake has a cake, because he can bake. The snake, coiled by the lake (sporting a cupcake chef's hat) is surrounded by baking ingredients and two tiny green traumatized bugs, who have indeed tried to take the snake cake, and therefore are being flung screaming into the lake, much to the dismay of another bug hiding behind a sack of what might be flour. We think it's gutsy to write a poem as simple as "I am At, / At the cat. / Do you see Pat? / He is my rat. / I sat on Pat, / so he is flat." And we like it. (Pat the flat rat doesn't look too happy about it, however.) A wonderful primer for wee ones just starting to have fun with words. (Ages 2 to 5) --Karin Snelson Product Description: I am Ook, Ook the book. Will you stop and take a look? You will see, I'm one good book! This is no ordinary rhyming book. This is an introduction to twelve different characters including Ug the Bug, Ing the Thing and In the Twin. With fun, tongue-twisting rhymes and colorful illustrations, Ook the Book will have readers in stitches. And meanwhile, before they know it, young readers will become familiar with both the look and sounds of the little phonic parts that make up our written and spoken language. A perfect beginning book for budding book worms! Average Rating:
