Grandpappy Snippy Snappies is about all the ways a grandpa helps people out with his signature suspenders on. He snaps them up and down while helping people out.
The first think I noticed about this book is the acutaly text. It isn't your traditional font. It has a childlike writing to it and it is not always the same. There are some colors and different sizes according to how the text is read. It also doesn't just go from left to right. There are words going all over the page up and down. It is very cool. It makes your eyes fall all over the page.
The next thing that I noticed about the text is the way it flows when you read it. I found myself mouthing the words outloud because it has a way of reading. There are a lot of words with "s" in them so it might be hard to yougner reader to read aloud if you have them try.
I could almost see a class singing along to this book and activiating it with motions. It really could be something fun to do.
Another great thing about this book was the pictures. I am not sure what the right term for it is but it is like when movies moved from cartoons to the animation like in toy story. That is what the pictures look like and I really enjoyed them.
