make for a good adventursome story and these three have great personality, There is effective use of repetition of a three line phase using a number of positional words, A fun way for preschoolers to encounter these concepts, I like going on a Bear Hunt so much better, bear hunt with goats Three goats go through the fence and out exploring while the family goes after them to bring them home.
The illustrations are humorous and filled with beautiful patterns in signature Polacco fashion, My favorite scene was the squishing in the mud, The text follows a rhyme and pattern similar to sitelinkWe're Going on a Bear Hunt but Polacco's goats make the story her own.
Fun book for a read aloud with younger kiddos, A takeoff on a "Bear Hunt, " Like the sounds.
Probably, won't make a difference to children but I wasn't sure of some of the distinctions like can't go over the hill, but you can climb up it More of a.
. Meant for younger children. Still an enjoyable read. Cute, Cute Cute. Myyear old mother and I loved the illustrations, The goats and women had so much emotion in the illustrations, The story was not as involved as Patricia usually includes, but the pictures made up for it, "I love this book " We've been slowly working our way through sitelinkPatricia Polacco's vast collection of stories.
We recently read sitelinkG is for Goat, somewhat to our girls' dismay as it is an alphabet book and I think they liked it, even if they won't admit it.
So when I saw this book, I figured we might as well continue with the goat theme.
The illustrations
are very similar to the previous book and the animals are very cute,
This book is a goatthemed version of the classic children's song/story, sitelinkWe're Going on a Bear Hunt.
I'm not sure that the carnival themed stops fit very well with the journey, but it was an interesting take on the original.
Our girls noticed that on the return trip back, Ms, Polacco failed to reverse the order of the mud and water traversings, but otherwise, it was an entertaining tale and we enjoyed reading it together.
Modern Fantasy
Grades: P
There are various books that go though various places and trials in order to get places or complete a task and then at the end of the book takes you right back to where you started going though each task again in reverse.
This specific version begins from a humorous perspective that I thought made the book unique to it's comparable others.
Patricia Polacco started as goats getting lose rather than a mission to be accomplished and thus the book carries itself as more curiosity than anything, which defined it's title.
I loved the way they came and went and thought this was a great book for storytelling and tone of voice for what is happening.
Polacco never ceases to amaze, and I love this simple story right up against her deeper and more personal books.
Excellent illustrations, lots of goats, and a fun way to learn prepositions Three goats go on the lam in this picturebook adventure for younger children, escaping from their field when the gate is left unlocked, and hoofing it with a "click, click, click" across the bridge.
Soon the caprine runaways have made their way up a hill with a "puff, puff, puff", across a pond with a "swish, swish, swish", through some mud with a "squish, squish, squish", and into the very heart of a fair where the flags go "flap, flap, slap".
Will their pursuers ever catch up to them, and convince them to return home, . .
An entertaining romp from the prolific Patricia Polacco, Oh, Look! is one of just a handful of her picturebooks intended for younger children, rather than more advanced readers.
The repetitive structure, and wealth of sound words in the text, make for an appealing readaloud selection, while the energetic and entertaining illustrations one can really see the author's affection for her subjects add to the Oh, Look!'s appeal.
Well worth a look, either for Polacco fans, or for younger children looking for fun bedtime books, I thought the story was starting off well, but it is SO similar to Rosen's Going on a Bear Hunt, that it felt like a copy cat.
It is sweet illustrations and personality to personable and familiar characters from the farm, While a familiar start, it became a little too abstract at the carnival and with the ogre, that my almostthree year old and myself didn't understand.
I was surprised, but we don't enjoy this book,
However, it has excellent color illustrations, and room for rhyme and creative thoughts! In the same format as "Going on a bear hunt"', young goats sneak out the gate an go on an adventure.
The repetition in the text encourages children to chant along and act out parts, I have paired it with Paul Galdone's "Three Billy Goats Gruff" for preschool storytime, The famous Polacco goats are back! In this playful interactive chant, three mischievous little goats find their way out of the gate squeak, squeak, squeak!, over a bridge click, click, click! through some mud squish, squish, squish!, onto a carousel um pah pah pah, um pah pah!.
. . and right into the path of an angry ogre! Of course, they are happy to turn right around and run straight back over the path they traveled, until at last they are back home gain, safe and sound.
Patricia Polacco's color palette is bright and springlike in her second goat adventure for very young readers.
A little rhymy. For smaller children. This is a cute story with lots of repetition and sounds effects, Great for story time in a large group, This is one of Polaccos goat stories here, three of them take off and have a little adventure.
This is one of her few titles for very young children, and whats funny is that its also her scariest book.
However, its not very scary at all, Mostly, its amusing and sweet, The illustrations are colorful and theres a lot of repetition, but not so much that I found it irritating.
Theres not that much to the story, but I think it will hold the interest of most little kids, and it would be fun for adults to read aloud to them.
A group of adventurous little goats run away from their farm and into a carnival, with their owners chasing close behind.
They all end up having a lot of fun until they get scared by a costumed worker whose dressed like an ogre.
They all run promptly home, right the way they came,
A nice string of repeating words to help understand the use of particular words, Great for younger children who are not yet ready for a longer picture book, this story of three goats who escape to a grand adventure is filled with fun language patterns that will tickle little kiddlies.
