Synopsis

Theme: Hide-and-Seek. It’s hard to be discreet when you’re a whale (. . . or a preschooler). With relatable obviousness, Whaley Whale engages in a lighthearted game of hide-and-seek with the reader. Is she on the table? . . . Is she behind the door? This methodical progression builds an anticipation that delights young readers, while the unmistakable foreshadowing keeps parents giggling along.

About this title

Review:

Normally, a whale wouldn't be hiding under a chair. But in Caldecott Honor artist Chris Raschka's wacky world of Thingy Things, that's exactly where she hides. "Is she on the table? No, Whaley Whale is not on the table." Preschoolers will like knowing exactly where Whaley Whale is at all times. The question of why a whale might be inside a house doesn't ever come up--and that's just fine. Designed for children just learning to read, all the Thingy Thing books reinforce simple sounds and word repetition. Don't miss the rest of the books in the series: Sluggy Slug, Moosey Moose, and Wormy Worm. (Preschool to beginning readers) --Karin Snelson
