Who Was Here?

I really liked this book. I think it has the fun quality of "guess who" that will engage a child, plus they are learning. I would love to order this for our library.

Who Was Here?: Discovering Animal Tracks by Mia Posada (Millbrook Press, October 2014) has rich illustrations of animal prints, coupled with delightful rhymes. Each of these animal track pages ends with the question: “Who Was Here?” The answer is only told on the next page, which also has a paragraph about the tracked animal. I include this book on this page for toddlers because Strawberry loved this book! She liked finding the questions and she loved seeing the big animals on the next page. Raisin, of course, at age six is a better audience for the book. He loved guessing what animals were represented by the print, and enjoyed reading the paragraph about the animals. As a whole, both kids wanted to read this book again and again, even after they knew who had left the prints. Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher.

Adorable illustrations accompany well drawn animal tracks and memorable rhymes. My son and I loved looking through this digital copy. I can only imagine how much more enjoyable an actual paper book would be. High praise and recommendations for this book. A must for all libraries, personal and public, especially schools.
