Tana Hoban

Crisp color photographs in this wordless book connect concepts defined in the titles. Another great picture book by Tana Hoban is Is It Rough? Is It Smooth? Is It Shiny? (opens in a new window). Both are sure to generate rich language as each picture is examined and described multiple times. [May also be used for building observational skills in science.]

What could it be? This fun book uses die-cuts to focus the viewers’ eye on an extremely small section of a full-color photograph. Readers will be surprised as they turn the pages to discover what looked strange up close is really something familiar.
