Look What I Can Do [Paperback]

Jose Aruego (Author, Illustrator)

Book Description

"Look what I can do!" "I can do it too!" And so begins a lively contest between two water buffalo that ends up being a bigger adventure than either of them had imagined!

This simple, nearly wordless picture book is one that the very youngest children will be eager to "read" all by themselves.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

The friendly, spirited competition between two water buffalo leads to an adventure neither bargained for but which is cured with a healthy dose of humor. Ages 3-6.

2.0 out of 5 stars A Fifteen Word Book, May 4, 2002

By 

Michael (Tokyo, Japan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Look What I Can Do (Paperback)

At the end of the excellent 400-page text/program "Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons," twenty books are recommended for children who now (according to the text) read at a second-grade level. This is the third book on the list of twenty. The fourth page of this book, "Look What I Can Do," has five words, "Look what I can do!" On page 7, there are five more words, "I can do it too!" The last page has the same five words as the first page, "Look what I can do!" In between, there are a lot of pictures. If you would like your child to read more than 15 words, you might think about getting a different book.

This review is from: Look What I Can Do (Paperback)

Two show-offs compete to come up with a better antic. This creates havoc for the animals in their paths and eventually both of them! Execellent facial expressions and a fun ending make this a book for all ages.

This review is from: Look What I Can Do (Paperback)

I was also led to this book through Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons. I loved that it was so easy that my new reader could easily conquer it! This gave her a confidence that she could conquer other books also.

This book's story is mainly told through the pictures, and this allows a new reader to read and comprehend quickly.
