Picture book
Hi Everyone
This has to be one of the brightest, imaginative picture books that I have picked up in a while!
I remember the joy of alphabet soup when I was a child. We mainly had rice in our soup, but when we got alphabet pasta it took soup to a new level of enjoyment. The author of 'Animal Soup' has taken this imagination and placed it into a brilliantly illustrated book. The placement of the pictures versus text enhances the story and read along effect. I have to give this book top marks for presentation and language.
Each page rhymes, yet the rhyme doesn't overtake the story like some narratives do. I read this book to some kids then went back over the narrative to seek out the rhyme. They enjoyed the exercise, and I will use it again when teaching. We giggled at the concept of the story and enjoyed each accompanying illustration. I will be taking this book from shelf to couch, to classroom.
Blurb:
Hold on to your witch's hat - it's time for some animal magic!
Oliver loves his Animal Soup, especially when the animals come to life...
Watch out for elephants, whales and crocodiles in this spectacular soup adventure!
