An entertaining Short Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This book is a game of hide & seek with the whale, which of course you can easily find. But my 2-year-old thought it was just hilarious, and the game only gets funnier every time we read it! It is perfect for that stage in a child's development where they get immense satisfaction from knowing the right answer. He starts smiling at the first page, and enjoys shaking his head at each page where he knows the whale is not hiding, and chuckling in anticipation as the whale pops out at the end saying "boo!" The book is very short, but it's good for a full minute of entertainment during reading time. The pictures are bold and colorful, and the story is simple for a young child to follow. I just wish the other "thingy things" books had the same sort of story line, because we have really enjoyed this book.
Thar she blows!

Whaley Whale is hiding somewhere in her room. Ok, so my 3-year old daughter found her on the first page, but that didn't seem to detract from her enjoyment of the book. She just grinned and looked incredibly smug. Wonderful simple illustrations and story, great to read aloud to a toddler and have her "read" along with you!
