A To Z Challenge: BOOK NOOK REVIEWS "I"








Title:  If You're Hoppy
Author: April Pulley Sayre
Illustrator: Jackie Urbanovic
Publisher:  Harper Collins
Ages: 4-8

Synopsis:

If you're hoppy 
and you know it,
you're a...frog.

If you're hoppy 
and you know it,
you're a frog.

Or...

Why you should read it:

When I first picked up this book I expected a retelling of the traditional children's song, "If you're happy and you know it".

I was pleasantly surprised.

This delightful, whimsical tale lets young readers to hop, slop, growl and flap their way through a menagerie of funny animals as they try to decide just what kind of critter they might be. The pastel artwork seems larger than life and will sure to be a hit with readers of all ages.

Blurb:

Addie comes from a long line of readers or "story catchers" as her family likes to call themselves. Every time Addie tries to catch a story on her own the wiggly words play tricks on her. She tries different ways to make those words sit still but it will take a little faith for Addie to become the next STORY CATCHER.
