Best friends Ballet Cat and Sparkle Pony try to decide what to play together. Sparkle suggests crafts, checkers, and lemonade, while Ballet Cat wants to leap, spin, and twirl. When Sparkle’s dancing is clearly halfhearted, he admits that he does not always enjoy dancing. Ballet Cat then shares her own secret: she likes Sparkle Pony even more than she likes dancing.

Who Done It?Olivier TallecEach double-page spread asks one question about a lineup of nine or ten children and animals. Readers use the figures’ poses and expressions to decide who is tired, who ate jam, who is shy about dancing, and more. The illustrations provide clues for each answer, and an answer key appears at the back of the book.Picture Books for Babies, Toddlers, and PreschoolersOn the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
Moving BlocksYusuke YonezuA repeating sequence of colored blocks and die-cut shapes asks what is being built. Turning the page reveals vehicles made from the blocks, including a car, bus, train, ship, and rocket ship. The same rectangular block pattern and questions return before each new reveal. The book uses guessing, shapes, colors, and vehicle forms to create an interactive pattern of prediction and discovery.Picture Books for Babies, Toddlers, and PreschoolersOn the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
