PreS-Gr 1—Bold graphic-style illustrations fill this "lift the flap" entry. A sentence appears on the left, and part of the answer peeks out from underneath the flap on the right to give a clue. For example, when the text reads, "Up, Up, and away! I fly Santa's sleigh," the back legs and tail of a reindeer are shown. Questions like, "What am I? What could I be?" are written on the bold-colored flap. Once the flap is lifted, the answer is revealed to all, "I am Santa's reindeer. That's me!" Youngsters will enjoy giving the answers and participating in the refrain, "That's me!"—Diane Olivo-Posner, Los Angeles Public Library
These volumes introduce the title holidays to preschoolers. Each spread presents a symbol, person, animal, or object connected to the holiday, then asks "What am I?" on a foldout flap that, when lifted, reveals the answer. Friendly digital-looking illustrations will help hold viewers' and listeners' interest in these superficial holiday novelty books. Review covers these My Look and See Holiday Book titles: What Am I?: Christmas and What Am I?: Halloween.
