Synopsis

In this charming book, each page asks the reader a question about the lineup of characters featured on the spread. Sharp eyes and keen observation are necessary. There's only one right answer, and it's not always easy! Kids will love learning early concepts like expressions and positions as a natural consequence of their hunt for clues in the details of the lineup. It's a book for all audiences: the seek-and-find call to action on every page makes Who Done It? a wonderful lap or parent read, while the whimsical art, distinctive horizontal format, and hip exposed board ensures this book will be equally appealing as engaging coffee table décor.

From School Library Journal:

PreS-Gr 2—This long and slim French import is an absolute gem. Told mostly through illustration, it is a humorous seek-and-find book that will have kids opening the cleverly oriented horizontal-format pages again and again. Each spread sets up a question, beginning with "Who didn't get enough sleep?", and is followed by two rows of illustrations of people and animals set against plain white backdrops. Readers are asked to carefully observe each character's expression and demeanor to find the culprit. Funny questions like "Who couldn't hold it?" and "Who forgot a swimsuit?" will get kids giggling. The humor and detailed, expressive characters paired with the shape and feel of this book will delight a broad range of readers. VERDICT Great for storytime, lap reading, or independent readers, this is a must-have for most libraries serving children.—Jasmine L. Precopio, Fox Chapel Area School District, Pittsburgh, PA
