Book Review: I Went Walking
Williams, (Moose Eggs or Why Moose Have Flat Antlers, 2007) offers a beautiful children's story about a young boy who goes on a walk and names the animals he sees along the way and identifies their colors. As the boy encounters yet another animal, the previous animals follow him. The beautiful and vivid illustrations by Julie Vivas make the animals come alive for example the reader sees a snippet of the animal that is revealed on the following page and keeps the child curious. The use of repetition in the text ("I went walking. What did you see?) makes this book a perfect read aloud for young children because it keeps the children involved. Identification of animals, colors and connecting the words to the pictures makes the book one that every child should experience.
