The Terrible Plop

The Terrible Plop

by Ursula Dubosarsky (Children's New Book)(E Dubosarsky)(2009)

for 3-6 year olds

This is a cute reworking of an old tale. A mysterious noise startles a group of rabbits munching by the lake. They take off in a hurry, alerting all the animals they pass about "the terrible plop." They eventually streak past the bear, who is sure he is bigger than "the plop." He grabs the littlest rabbit, with the littlest hop, and has him show the bear where to find this plop. The bear hears the plop and is so frightened that he, too, takes off. But now the littlest bunny knows the secret of the plop, so he stays for the cake and carrots that were previously abandoned.

The story moves at just the right pace and is sure to draw in young listeners. The text rhymes and flows easily. The illustrations evoke a retro feel, but also have a modern twist with the use of texture photographs. They are simple, colorful, and endearing, just like this book.-SC-
