| You Loves Ewe! by Cece BellWhat it’s about: When clever, bespectacled Yam introduces new friend Ewe to Donkey, Donkey mistakes the word “ewe” for “you,” kicking off a cascade of zany wordplay and comical misunderstandings.
Why kids might like it: With big, bold cartoon illustrations and silly speech-bubble dialogue, this playful picture book will keep kids giggling (and teach them about homonyms, too).
Series alert: For more of Yam and Donkey’s antics, check out their 1st outing in I Yam a Donkey. |
