Where's My Dinner?: With Flaps and a Pop-Up!
Rebecca Elgar. Egmont Books (UK), $9.99 (14pp) ISBN 978-1-4052-0451-4
Two books by Rebecca Elgar likely to inspire shout-along rather than read-along pleasure: Where's My Dinner? and Time for Bed! Each features multimedia collages of animals that incorporate newsprint and photos. In the first title, animals clamor for their food (""I'm a happy, clever cat./ I eat wherever I go./ But every day when I get home, / I loudly want to know..."") and the refrain ""Where's my dinner?"" appears in bold type in a large text bubble that doubles as a flap hiding a culinary surprise. In the latter title, the animals rhapsodize about their days before being shown resting behind the flap. A pop-up surprise ends each book. .
