review 1: There isn’t much to this book but it is cute, and for kids it might be fun to guess/know what’s on the next page. For each double page there is a silhouette of something in the foggy foggy forest with the (a tad annoying for this adult) repeating questioning of what it could be and then the next pages show, via rhyme and full color picture what it is. There are some fairy tale characters and they’re in amusing positions such as “Cinderella and Snow White in a water-pistol fight.” There are only about ten of these. I think kids will enjoy this book though, especially if they’re familiar with some of the characters and especially if they like guessing games. I wasn’t wowed but I think some members of the target audience will be big fans. I did enjoy the illustr... moreations and their rhymes and particularly the whimsy. For unicorn fans there is “a unicorn playing a horn.” 2 ½ stars, deserving of rounding up
review 2: There are shadowy shapes in the foggy, foggy forest. As the reader turns each translucent page, the shadows turn out to be brightly-colored forest animals and storybook creatures. This clever concept is coupled with silly rhymes such as an ogre doing yoga and a fairy queen on a trampoline. Younger kids will enjoy the rhymes and older kids will like guessing what the shapes will be once the page is turned. Gr. PreK-1. less
