Review Detail

Go Go Dodo! by Huw Lewis Jones is a humorous picture book that will have readers laughing out loud. The book follows a Dodo as he walks through a “friendly jungle”, a “peaceful swamp” and a “soothing sea”, but the pictures tell a different story. A very hungry tiger is following the Dodo bird as he visits each of these places, but the bird is blissfully unaware and always manages to escape the tiger.



What I Liked: The illustrations are bright and colorful, and they are the focal point of the book. The words in the book tell the story of a Dodo bird out for a gentle walk, while the pictures show a menacing tiger lurking behind it, and that contrast is what makes this story stand out. I read this to my Kindergarten and first-grade class, and they laughed and shouted at each page. It really is the perfect book to read aloud.



Go Go Dodo! is a hilarious picture book that is perfect for young readers who will enjoy the antics of both the Dodo bird and the tiger.
