What Am I? is an absorbing guessing game for very young children. Large, simple
text offers clues to riddles on each double-page spread. Whimsical illustrations by Jennifer
Herbert contain correct answers along with several false leads. Little ones will enjoy
using their powers of deduction before flipping the page to see if they have guessed
correctly. What Am I? is sure to sharpen observation skills, while imparting
facts about familiar objects found in everyday experiences. Here is a bright,
bold picture book that will call clever little readers back time and time again.
An introduction to non-fiction/information books for children in grades Kindergarten through Grade 3. Illustrations by Jennifer Herbert. Tundra Books, 2007. ISBN 0-88776-812-5
