Chung, Arree. Out!, PICTURE BOOK. Henry Holt and Company, 2017. $17.99.
A toddler really wants to get out of his crib. By yelling commands at the family dog, he convinces him to help him out of his crib and to explore the house without his parents knowing. Together they eat a cake on the floor, leave the mess behind and crawl into the crib together. The parents find the mess, follow the footprints to the baby’s room and put the dog in a kennel. The toddler returns the favor and breaks the dog out. I think parents will find this one more amusing than kids. They’ll relate to trying to keep things quiet while they wait for a young one to fall asleep.
The language is sparse, with one word text throughout. Some of the impossibilities of the parents not hearing everything the two naughty ones are getting into or how a giant dog climbed up into a tiny crib, was a hang up for me.
PRE-K, EL (K-3)- OPTIONAL. Reviewed by Shay, School Librarian
