Norris, Eryl and Andy
Mansfield. What’s That in the Water? A Pop-Up Mystery. Little Bee Books (Bonnier Publishing
Group), 2015. $9.99. Content: G.
PICTURE BOOK.
Just like its charming companion, Who’s Who in the Woods? A Pop-Up Mystery, the underwater creatures
are scared by a pair of eyes they do not recognize. The shark is sure that it has pincers and
fangs. The octopus is so scared that its
many legs are turning to jelly. The
monstrous eyes belong to a curious young tadpole. Again the authors use a monochromatic color scheme
to add to the scary feel: blues, blacks, whites, and grays. The
pop-ups come out and up from different angles giving the book a lovely
variety. A perfect read for kids who
want a little scary, but very safe.
Again, it would be a great read aloud book, but the size is more
appropriate for an individual reader.
Pre-K -ADVISABLE.
