Picture Book Review: Whose Family, by Jeannette Rowe
Reviewed by Sally Murphy

Ninth title in the Whose series.



Whose family can you see? Whose family can they be?

Toddlers love interactive books, and with the Whose titles of author/illustrator Jeanette Rowe, there are always plenty of opportunities for interaction. Previous titles, including Whose Ears?, Whose House? and Whose Baby? have proven so popular with littlies that they have sold over a million copies worldwide, and to celebrate, ABC Books have released the ninth title in the series, Whose Family?

Using the same flip the flap format of the earlier titles, Whose Family? uses simple text (the repetition of ‘Whose family?’ on each spread) and enough clues for littlies to be able to guess at the identity of the family under each spread on the first read, and to be able to remember on subsequent reads. There are plenty of fun animal characters and the bold colours for which Rowe is known.

Lots of fun.
