Who Done It?

Description

Who ate all the jam? Who played with a mean cat? Who forgot his swimsuit? In the charming book Who Done It? each page asks the reader a question about the lineup of characters featured on the spread. Sharp eyes and keen observation are necessary-there's only one right answer, and it's not always easy! It's a book for all audiences: Kids will love learning early concepts like expressions and Who Done It? positions as a natural consequence of their hunt for clues in the details of the lineup. The seek-and-find call to action on every page makes this book a wonderful lap or parent read-and the delightful, subtly whimsical art makes this book equally appealing as hip, engaging coffee table decor. Who Done It? will serve many types of readers: the parent looking for a clever way to teach her child about observation and physical differences; the reader who prefers a seek-and-find that is based more on inference and logic than Highlights-level shape similarity; the art-appreciating parents and consumers; the teachers and librarians who will use the gap between question and answer to teach kids how to learn a question from an answer; and the parent who just wants to use a book to engage his child in participating with the book. The book may have an interesting format, but we will make that decision once we receive the hardcopy.
