Look-Alikes Jr.

Look-Alikes Jr.
by Joan Steiner

Look-Alikes Jr. is a fun and unique picture book. It is full of pages of common scenes which are made of familiar objects including a teddy bear made of peanuts, table made of a tambourine, and even an oven-mitt chair. Each scene includes complementing verses that are written with unique rhymes. While the reading in not very academic and rather low leveled, readers will enjoy the simple rhyming text. Children and adults alike can spend hours searching through the pages to find all of the unique look-alikes on each page. Steiner had the right idea when she scenes which are used were obviously created with a child's imagination in mind. The scences include a bold and colorful school room, a young child's bedroom, and a shuttle out in the vast dark space.


Intended Age 4-8
