review 1: Can You Make a Scary Face by Jan Thomas is a very fun book. This is another Simon says book that has the reader act out parts of the story. It starts off with a Lady bug giving directions and has a little fun with the reader by making them stand, sit, and stand again. Later the ladybug has the reader dancing and making a scary faces. I think this book is great because it makes the reader a character in the story. I can see why children really like these books as it makes them part of the story and it is always fun to act out the story.The book is very colorful which compliments its fun style. The pages are full bleed with no border. For the most part the text is on the left of the page break and the pictures stay right of the text. The typography is also fun and colo... morerful.
review 2: Just like Charlie Cook's Favorite book, I use this book as a regular storytime element. I have a segment I call Second Story Stretch, where after I read the first two stories, the kids and I get up and do some sort of movement. Sometimes I play Clap Your Hands by There Might Be Giants, sometimes we go on a bear hunt, and sometimes I read this book. Its a fun interactive non-story where the character is talking directly to the audience, telling them what to do. less
