Parts of a Whole

"The bright digital art is clear and snappy and young children will enjoy the assortment of objects as well as their realistic proportions." ―Youth Services Book Review

"What I loved: This is a clever premise that helps children to start thinking about teamwork and how small things can make up a larger concept. The different wholes that are broken apart into tetris-like images that are also labeled for ease of describing. The things chosen are really interesting, describing a wide swath of different types of things from objects around the house and toys to more abstract concepts like hockey matches and intersections. The illustrations are quite clever and will appeal to young readers. The book could also be turned into simple games with children thinking about all the parts they can think of and then finding them in the other illustration or trying to describe how they all come together in the whole. Final verdict: PARTS OF A WHOLE is an intriguing book that helps children to consider how small things can add up to something exciting." ―YA Books Central

"The illustrations are so cute! The art work is bright and sunny. I can’t quite explain why, but there is such an atmosphere of cheerfulness in this book." ―Luminous Libro
