What Is It?: Picture Book - No Words

What Is It? written & photographs by Tana Hoban
Publisher: Greenwillow Books

Pages: 10

Genre: Picture Book - No Words

Rating: Thumbs Down

This is a picture book that would be used early in identification of familiar objects for a young child. The author gives various pictures of items that a child would interact with.

I gave it a rating of "Thumbs Down" because the picture were, in my opinion, not very good/clear. Depth perception was not easily noticed, and many of the items appeared flat to the page - though it was apparent that this was not the original goal. Simply stated, better pictures could have been chosen - but then it would have been a completely different book.
