PreS-Gr 1"Eeny, meeny, miney, moe!/Who ate all the cookie dough?" a kangaroo asks various animal friends as she searches for the culprit. Each creature denies the theft and joins Kanga in the hunt. Monkey seems the likely suspect until the critters lead Kanga and readers to a lift-up flap that reveals her pouched joey licking a spoon. The stylized gouache illustrations place the characters against white backdrops decorated with abstract patterns that suggest flowers and trees. The animals are large and painted with a light, humorous touch. This book's repetition and rhymesreminiscent of the question-and-answer rhythm of Bill Martin, Jr.'s "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" (Holt, 1983)make it a good choice for beginning readers and for chant-along storytimes."Marge Loch-Wouters, Menasha Public Library, WI" Copyright 2008 School Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
