Description for Sales People
The repeition of 'Poe wouldn't go' invites children to shout along with the narrator. With frequent alliteration and occasional rhymes, Kelly DiPucchio's uproarious text is full of fun for young readers. Zachariah OHora has a brilliant knack for visual humour, and his expressive style pairs perfectly with the text. An ideal discussion starter on the power of listenin to others. Kelly DiPucchio's wit and insight converge once again in this humorous, yet educational picturebook.
