Genre: wordless picture book; animal fantasy

Grade level: K-4

Readers who will like this book: Students who struggle reading words but want to experience the accomplishment of reading a book on their own. Visual learners.

Response/Rating (1-4): **** This book is fun and challenging for me as an adult reader. With no words one is forced to rely on only the pictures to convey the story. The pictures are detailed and effectively convey the events of the story. The artwork is also very silly and fun.

One question you would ask before read aloud: Can you tell a story without using any words?
