review 1: Perfect for about age 2-3. Asks in verse whether or not the child is a particular animal throughout the book. I field-tested it with a sunny two-year-old, who looked at me with wide eyes as I read, and answered solemnly, "No" to each page. Me: "Are you a cow?" Two-year-old: "No." (With the clear subtext of, "Who IS this crazy lady?" until he caught on to the game.)I was snorting aloud by the end. So of course we read it again.
review 2: Repetition is the name of the game for toddlers. And what better word to repeat than their favorite - no (parents read: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NONONO!).This isn't the cleverest of Sandra Boynton's books, nor is it particularly rhymey, but it does include her signature bright, fun animal characters and some playful teas... moreing. The chicken narrator asks a series of questions - are you a dog? are you a cow? - that are easy to follow for toddlers and gives them the opportunity to respond. My 2-year-old just listened the first two read-throughs and now reads the book to me, answering "Noooooo" and laughing hysterically at each question. She's even turned it into a knock-knock joke, so instead of asking "Who's there?" she asks "is it a duck? is it a cow?" and ends it with "Nooo, you're YOU!"Easily one of her new favorite books. less
