Rezensionen

PreSchool-K-While browsing in Elvis Grundoon's Antiques and Curiosities Shop, Raccoon finds "something wonderful, something she had never seen before." She hurries off to show Beaver, who is also taken with the "good-looking thingamajig." Porcupine calls it a "lovely whatchamacallit," and Otter declares it a "dashing thingamabob." The illustrations keep the secret hidden until the last page when the object of their affection is revealed to be a mirror-"And what each one saw was something wonderful indeed." The shiny paper allows young children to see their own reflection. Cushman's watercolor woodland animals are expressive and full of character-Beaver wears horn-rimmed glasses and reads a newspaper; Otter is a plaid-shirted fisherman. Children will enjoy chiming in on the repetitive "thingamajig, whatchamacallit, thingamabob" lines in this brief, rhythmic text.
