This book follows simple wordplay to take the reader on a journey of imagination and wonder. I loved the illustrations--it's no wonder that it won the Caldecott Medal--and I especially liked watching the illustrations build off of each other based on the text. Entertaining and beautiful.

For: readers who want a book with textual patterns or a book that applauds imagination.

Possible red flags: some readers may not enjoy the whimsical/fantastical elements or find the book too simple.
