What Am I?

by Salina Yoon, Salina Yoon (Illustrator)

Overview

This deceptively simple format combines silhouette images with pull-out tabs that showcase familiar objects!

With clever die-cuts and large tabs, Little Scholastic: What Am I? challenges young readers to guess the silhouette!

A casebound board book with five spreads, each page nests a sturyd, pull-out tab that creates a silhouette when in place. Then, voila! With a pull of the tab, the color artwork magically appears!

Editorial Reviews

Black shapes offer the challenge to toddlers to figure out what the object is. On the cover, the tab when pulled reveals a colorful red airplane. Inside the book information is provided to help young ones figure out what the shape represents. For example, four black tires on the go through traffic. What am I? Why it is a car. The same pattern is followed for a helicopter, motor bike, tug boat, and train engine. All things that go. The whole assembly of vehicles is reprised on the final spread. All of the slides are easy to move. The colorful vehicles will catch young eyes and the book will offer fun as well as education and an opportunity to extend the lesson outside the home when traveling. Kids can see how many of the vehicles they can spot. Part of the "Little Scholastic" series. Reviewer: Marilyn Courtot
