I couldn't choose between these two new picture books by veteran children's author/illustrators Denise Fleming and Lois Ehlert. I shared
Shout, Shout It Out! by Denise Fleming recently in storytime. This is a lively book - the colors pop, the bold illustrations are inviting and perfect for sharing in a group setting, and the text just begs to be read with enthusiasm, participation, and volume! :) The audience joins in with calling out the letters of the alphabet, numbers, colors, and animals they see.
Don't forget to look for the mouse on each page - he has a special job at the end of the book!
Lois Ehlert's new book features her trademark collage artwork and features a talking pet dog. You don't believe me? Well, you'll just have to check out
Rrralph to find out what I mean. This book is such a great audience participation story, too. It also works so well to promote early literacy skills. This one will be featured at a storytime soon.
