This book made me chuckle. It's a staring contest in a book! The book characters are challenging the reader to a staring contest. You'll have to read to see you wins!

Reviewed from a library copy.

This would would be ADORABLE in an in person storytime. I mean, all of the animals that appear determined to have a staring contest with us, the reader. But it's harder than it looks.....except for one animal.

But without kiddos around, the interactive factor is gone and while the illustrations are SO lovely, it just is not enough to make it a favorite.

Love the illustrations! Young readers will enjoy how the characters engage in a staring contest... with the reader!

This is cute and I think kids will giggle. Somewhat interactive in breaking the fourth wall and drawing the reader into the action. The illustrations ate great.

Cute concept but the story was too long.

The ending was actually super adorable but I'm not sure how well this would work during a storytime. There's kind of an interactive element but it may be too slow and repetitive though you could probably spice it up if you do special voices for each character.
