Reviews
A strong addition to public and school early reader collections. The skillful use of sight words and multiple context definitions make this a good choice for easy reader collections everywhere.--School Library Journal 9/16/2022 Kontis' limited-vocabulary beginning reader does a lot with oo words that can be phonetically decoded... it is certainly accessible to emerging readers. Jacques' colorful cartoon artwork features flat, minimalist objects set against simple backgrounds, and a charming poodle sporting an artist's beret. The art also interjects some nuance into the story: while the two large creatures debate noodles, the talented pooch creates an entire portfolio of salable art. A good choice for those who prefer silly stories.--Booklist 11/1/2022 The conversation of two egg-shaped characters reinforces for beginning readers the long oo sound and several sight words...Preschoolers will enjoy the short rhymes, word repetition, and cartoonlike art. Fun for young noodlers and doodlers. '--Kirkus Reviews 9/15/2022
