title: Animagicals: Homes: Handprint Books
author:  Carol Diggory Shields 
description: PreSchool-Grade 2-Each of these books features Junakovic's artwork on pages that unfold to reveal the answers to Shields's 12 rhyming riddles. The foldout pages are well planned to increase suspense. The rhymes sometimes give clues to the animal's identity while at other times they obscure it, making guessing the answers more challenging. In Homes, the animal dwellings are interesting and eclectic: a shell, an apple (for worms, of course), a beehive, an iceberg, an egg, and a tree. "I like the very same/things as you,/A home that's warm/and comfy too./In fact, I really/like your house,/Thanks for sharing-/with this mouse." Sports adds a touch of humor as children are asked to guess which animals excel at athletics. Some are easy-like a giraffe playing basketball, dolphins diving, and a frog doing the high jump. But others are quite unexpected-a spoonbill playing Ping-Pong, an elephant using his trunk to play ice hockey, and a hippo blocking a soccer goal. The creatures in both books are charming, and the lighthearted rhymes are loaded with child appeal.<br /><i>Laurie Edwards, formerly at Dauphin County Library System, Harrisburg, PA </i><br />Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
