Can You Make A Scary Face? (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
Jan Thomas is a genius when it comes to pre-school literature. She produces books with bright illustrations that appeal to children. The simply structured text is also easy for the age group to understand and memorize.This book has the reader following a set of instructions given by the narrator, standing up, sitting down, wiggling the nose. It is when a frog menaces our bug narrator that we are asked to make a scary face. This book was just ok for my 4 year old. Then again -- if we had read it as a mid-day or after dinner book - she may respond to it and enjoy it more than as a just-before-bed book. The brightly colored pages did grab her attention. She liked following the requests of the ladybug throughout the book. Although, at one point - she took her eyes off the pages and looked at me like, "Really? Do I have to?"...hahaI would recommend reading this one during playtime. Would be a great one to lead up to a game of Simon Says.
