I really like Oliver Tallec's WHO DONE IT? |ISBN: 24905389]. It was just the kind of book I enjoy sharing with little ones. It was smartly done and not only entertained, but gave kids something to think about.

I like WHO WHAT WHERE even more. This is just a great book that gives children a chance to practice deductive reasoning.

FORMAT - the format of this book is something kids find intriguing. The book is long and narrow and you hold it sideways. This format naturally causes children to scan horizontally. If you use your finger as a guide you can start to get them used to working left-to-right.

THE FUN - Really fun with colorful, kid-friendly artwork. The top page asks a question and the bottom page provides a selection of answers/characters for children to pick from.

Examples of questions:
Who's in disguise?
Who got stuck in a tree?
Who got a little too crazy jumping on the bed?

The answers are sometimes easy and sometime a little craftier, but what's important is that children need to reason out exactly who fits as the answer to the question.

Great edu-tainment. This is a good book for adults to use to model reasoning strategies.
