New review: Tweak Tweak

by | Feb 1, 2012 | Children's Book of the Week | 9 comments

Ok, yeah, I’ll admit it: I sort of thought Tweak Tweak was going to be treacly awfulness. An elephant baby tweaks her mom’s tail when she has a question. Yawn. But I was wrong! It’s cute, yes, but also silly and fun. And definitely something certain 3-year-olds I know wanted read aloud a thousand times.

Hear my review on the Brain Burps About Books podcast today, where Katie interviews the other faculty members of the Highlights workshop. You can see more about the podcast episode here, or click here to listen or download directly. Enjoy!

    “And definitely something certain 3-year-olds I know wanted read aloud a thousand times.” That’s the kind of book that *I* want to write!!

    Yeah, me too. As long as it’s not the kind of book kids want read a thousand times but the parents hide because they can’t stand it.

    You make me blush! Thank you so much. The Room of Wonders is still my own favorite.

    Sergio, it’s such an amazing book, truly. One of those few books that I feel like I can crawl right inside.

    Oh I hadn’t made the Room of Wonders link either, Fabulous! I could cope with reading Tweak Tweak quite a few times, I reckon! Do you now that elephants can communicate through the vibrations they make with their feet? learnt that from a book I reviewed this week. They are super intelligent!
