In this book, a pair of siblings go to the zoo and every word in the book is filled with double o's. The illustrations are really vibrant and pleasing to the eye. This book could be used to begin teaching spelling with double letters. ( )

A brilliant concept book: each page (or in some cases, each double-page-spread) has one word, and every word contains a double "o," and nearly all of those "oo"s are incorporated into the picture: a kangaroo's boxing gloves, a cockatoo's eyes, balloons. With few words, the author/illustrator tells the story of two kids (brother and sister?) who take a trip to the zoo.

Artwork and hand-lettered text created by hand-cut rubber stamps, stencils, pens, pencils, and composed digitally.

I used this book with my 3yo to draw her attention to the double-o in each word and the sound it made. (Unfortunately, right after I explained that two "o"s together make an "ooooo" sound, we came to the word "Look." Which if you're Scottish, like the author, does have an "oooo" sound, but less so if you're American. Sigh.) ( )
