Synopsis:
Abner and Ian are stuck sideways in this clever picture book created by a bestselling, acclaimed author and cartoonist--and perfect for fans of Elephant & Piggie and Press Here.
Abner and Ian are stuck sideways on the pages of their debut picture book. They can't start the story like this! Ian is trying to be brave, despite his dizziness and fear of heights. But don't worry, because Abner has a plan: Readers will shake and turn the book until they get the right side up! Sounds easy, right? Think again, because the real solution may be the opposite of what you'd expect.
Our Thoughts:
Abner & Ian are somehow sideways when we start their story and they include the readers and/or Little Listeners to join in to put things right. Unfortunately, no matter how we try to help, Abner & Ian end up more and more mixed up! In the end, the solution is easy as one, two, three...
This is a really fun, hands-on picture book where you, the reader, are included in the story! The characters, Abner and Ian, talk to you and ask you for help with their dilemma. In fact, you are the only one that can help them! You must shake and turn and flip this book to try to get the characters back on the page correctly!
This makes a wonderful interactive story to read to little ones in a group setting but it has an extra punch if the reader themselves get to shake and turn and flip the book!
I did have an issue with the length of this book. My daughter was thoroughly tired of shaking and turning the book before we were even close to getting things sorted out for our characters. It does have some wacky, funny moments that we enjoyed though!
