Who’s Like Me? By Nicola Davies –ADVISABLE


Davis, Nicola and illustrated by Boutavant, Marc Whose Like Me? 24 pgs. Candlewick, 2012. $9.99.  (Rating: G)
Another Uncover and Discover book which lets the author ask the reader a question and they get a chance to think about it before peeking under flaps for answers. (See my review for “What will I be?” by the same duo).
In this book the reader is show an animal, reptile, fish, or bird –then they are asked “Who’s like me?”. The reader gets  choice from 4 different flaps to lift which picture different skin types. For Example the reader is shown a fish. The four options are fur, feathers, smooth spotted skin, and scales. The reader can peek under the tabs to search for the matching species.
I book will takes the smarts of 6-7 year old, but younger students will enjoy the bright and adorable illustrations.  It should hold up pretty good, even for school use.
