Customer Reviews

cute book, i use it for teaching esl kindergarten, good for pre-K too.

No text. Just a black page with a round hole in the center, showing a portion of the photograph of something on the next page (like a dog, etc) so as the title says, Look, and then guess what it is. Good for eliciting language out of students, asking, what do you think it might be? What are the clues? I have my kids make their own look book with their own pictures and then they can take it home and play with their parents.

Adults - Enjoy this book, too.

Do you know what a butterfly, a hippo, a crab, an ostrich, or a pretzel looks like? Think again. The Look Book by Tana Hoban will challenge your knowledge. One page is a black sheet of paper with a hole in the middle of it. Look at the exposed picture through the hole. Fooled you, didn't it? A gray, white, and black band turned out to be a pigeon. This is a great book for teaching children logical thinking skills and encouraging original thought. Recommended reading for ages 4-8, the book is fun for adults, too.
