Cute to read on his own... lots of repetition that builds his confidence and a teensy bit silly, which keeps him smiling. :) ( )

Young children will relate to Timothy Pope who is playing with his brand new telescope at the park. Children will enjoy the humor of the story and the rhyme and rhythm of the text. They will also enjoy chiming in with the repetition of the text in each section. This is also a great book for developing visual literacy. Children can see part of an image through the telescope, and then based on this part would guess what the whole image is. ( )

Timothy Pope scans the park with his new telescope, each time seeing a SHARK! Each time it's actually something benign like a cat or crow. The "shark fin" is revealed through round die cuts. Great for storytimes.

48 months - Fun interactive book for early readers. ( )

Fun book with great pictures. Repeats most of the story so it is great for interaction. ( )
