Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-K-These lift-the-flap books will be great additions to toddler and preschool storytime programs. Simply drawn animals, outlined in heavy black, frolic on brightly colored pages. The artwork is reminiscent of Katie Davis's in Who Hops? (Harcourt, 1998) and Lucy Cousins's in the "Maisy" books (Candlewick). In Whose Feet? the flaps cover most of each animal's body but keep its feet in view. The kangaroo's characteristic long, flat feet could belong to a rabbit, while the turtle's feet are easily mistaken for an elephant's. The other creatures, however, will be guessed immediately. Whose Nose? includes a pink pig with purple spots, a cheerful blue rhino, and a toothy green crocodile. Each picture is covered by a flap that reveals only the creatures' distinctive profiles. While youngsters are likely to think that the rhino is a dino or call the crocodile an alligator, in general the pictures will be easily identified. Both books end with a question about whose features (feet or nose) are the cutest-and both have the same answer (mine). Two engaging titles.

From Kirkus Reviews

Whose Nose? (16pp.; $7.95; Sept.; 0-316-75933-3): ``Whose nose?'' is the question appearing on the lefthand page, while on the right a nose is on display, with its owner hidden by a flap. Some of the noses, rendered in super-saturated colors, are a snap to identify, e.g., the pig's snout is an early give-away, which will encourage children. The rhino's nose, later on, isn't so easy. The mouse's nose and dog's nose share features, so readers will want to really look at the animals. A handsome, participatory, and potentially thought-provoking early natural history.
