Book Review: Yellow Square

  "Yellow Square" is the fourth book in David A. Carter's series of pop-up books. This one follows "Red Dot", "Blue 2", and "600 Black Spots". (Links lead to my review of the respective books.)

  In "Red Dot", the dots were easy to find. In "Blue 2", the twos were slightly harder to find. In "600 Black Spots" the spots were in plain sight, just difficult to keep count of. In this book, will the yellow square be easy to find, or not?

  This book delighted the kids I teach all the same. The younger kids seemed to prefer this one as compared to "Red Dot". How about you? Which book in David Carter's series do you like best?

Book Review: Blue 2

  The concept behind this book is just the same as "One Red Dot". On each pop-up page, there is one hidden blue "2" paired with a little rhyme to help you in finding it. Will you be able to find all ten hidden 2s?

And here's a flip-through video of "Blue 2" by David A. Carter, with me pointing out where all the hidden twos are.

Book Review: One Red Dot

  "One Red Dot" is the first of many pop-up books that David A. Carter has created.

  I'm an English tuition teacher to children ranging from 3-16 years old, and the kids that I've shown this book to have absolutely loved it. My current copy is beginning to show signs of distress (not tearing of parts, just general wear-and-tear.. The kids are gentle with the book and I do keep an eye on them when they're reading it), but to me, it just shows how engaging the book is to the kids. They love finding the red dots within the book, and seeing how the pop-ups are tucked in when they close each page.

  Here's a video of me flipping through the book:
