It was too bad, because this book felt a lot like Blexbolex' People visually. Instead, he simply labeled it "Animal Blop". ![]() For example, on the pages where the Blop is suddenly filled with textures of different kinds of animal skins, a question like 'Where is Blop?' would give away none of the answers, but still prompt the same kind of activation of background knowledge. This would be a much more powerful multi-modal text if the words had been somehow in a counterpoint relationship to the pictures. I wonder what would be a good way to hide the text for a 'read-aloud' that is all kids' repsonses and talk about the visuals. This book has way better potential as a wordless picture book to talk about with young readers as the pages are turned. The text was fully corresponding with what I saw, and telling me how to interpret it. This would be a much more powerful m While I was engaged by the variety of concepts and ways of interacting with this simple design, I kept feeling bullied by the text. While I was engaged by the variety of concepts and ways of interacting with this simple design, I kept feeling bullied by the text. I think this book would be good for very young readers as a fun independent read or read aloud. ![]() There are very few words on each page making it a simple read. By the end, I was bored and hoping for some variety or excitement. It was very lengthy, with pages just full of different versions of Blop. However, I wish Tullet would have used a different, more realistic shape/character. I thought the book was creative and I enjoyed the interactive elements within it. Through manipulating Blop, Tullet invites readers to use their imagination and learn about different colors, patterns, and animals. As the story continues, readers discover that Blop can be many different colors, sizes or even look like an animal. Readers learn about a bubble-like shape that the author calls Blop.
