I have a new favorite children’s picture book author. Oh, I still love Mo Willems books, but Sara Pinto also makes me and my grandchildren laugh with her new book Apples & Oranges Going Bananas With Pairs.
How are an apple and an Orange alike? What about a bird and a kite? Or a book and a letter? If you think you know the answer, you probably do, but I’m sure it’s not the answer that the author Pinto gives. That’s okay, because everyone’s answers will contribute to the rollicking good time you’ll have when reading Apples & Oranges Going Bananas With Pairs.
I love the interactive nature of Pinto’s book. Guessing the answers is just plain silly fun that brings giggles and guffaws from the readers. And we all know that laughing is a good thing.
The illustrations are wonderful. I found myself finding such fun and interesting things in the pictures. Children will adore this loveable and silly book, and I predict it will become a favorite of most. It’s already one of my favorite books.
Armchair Interviews says: Add this to your child’s must-have children’s book library.
