What Are People Saying?
‘A simple title for a book that delivers a lot of value in a picture book. The author employs rhyme, alliteration, onomatopoeia, descriptive adjectives, and sentence building to offer a host of learning opportunities for toddlers and preschoolers. The words are associated with the colors that represent them, each page adds more text so that as the book unfolds readers repeat and reinforce the learning. At the end of the book a glossary is included to remind young readers exactly what those “hard words” mean. The female captain is a role model for young girls unaccustomed to seeing females heading up the captain’s job. This book is one that will be read over and over, each time reinforcing and building upon the learning that has already taken place. Highly recommended for parents, teachers, and librarians who work with toddlers and preschoolers.’ Barbara Ann Mojica
