Where Does It Go?

by Margaret Miller

Where does Tavo put his socks? On his dog's paw? In the wading pool? Little ones can guess the answer, then turn the page to see if they're right. "The texture, colors, and layout found in this photographic concept book are outstanding; it's a winner....Naming, counting, and eventually reading are just a few of the pleasures possible with this work."--School Library Journal.

This book teaches kids about putting things where they belong. A topic seemingly obvious for adults, this is something that must be taught to children. Some of the objects make more sense than others, but examples such as, "Where does Jaclyn put her bicycle?...In the garage!" are actually very helpful. The book also uses many prepositions, like, "In, on, under, between, behind, among, through, etc." There are colorful pictures which show how these prepositions are used.

I gave this book three stars because it is helpful for children to learn. However, in terms of literary merit, it doesn't do much. It is definitely more of an expository text than a narrative. Some of the prepositions might be new vocabulary, and with the pictures used to define, children are bound to learn from this book. I might read this to kids, but I don't think they would pick out this one.

A book from my childhood, but my littles definitely giggled at the pictures with the ideas.

Mom and Dad think it's hilarious and well-done. 16 month old Leo had very little interest in it. Maybe when he's older!
