Mary’s woolly friend is joined by a colorful (and noisy) entourage in a funny first concept board book by the inimitable Jarvis.
Everyone knows that Mary had a little companion, with fleece as white as snow. Baaa! But did you know that an orange tiger trailed them? Raar! And a pink dancing hippo, too? Fa-la-la-la-la! And who is that red fellow swinging on a vine, or those blue bears blowing on horns? With a bright array of colors and a cacophony of sound words, this cumulative twist on a classic rhyme will have children clamoring to follow along.
The bright digital illustrations in both books will capture readers’ attention and they will enjoy pointing out the silly details, such as a roller-skating giraffe. This book board duo is a great addition to collections everywhere. —School Library Journal Online
This fresh take on the traditional nursery rhyme aims to teach colors to toddlers. Childlike illustrations with chalked backgrounds provide clues to the action and give little learners much to talk about. —Kirkus Reviews
