What is Black and White by John Kane

This book begins on the very first page with the title question - what is black and white? Perhaps the cover has given you the answer but surely it is not that simple?

The off-stage narrator keeps asking more and more impossible questions and our intrepid little penguin keeps finding a way to show he CAN do all these things. Here is the text near the end:

"What is black and white, can't fly, likes to swim, is called Norman, is cool, fast, full, tall, warm, magic, not so dizzy and now just showing off?"

This book is a perfect example of a cumulative tale and the twist the end is simply perfect. I suggest you add this book to your library or family wish list today. And yes, all the John Kane books are still available.

The story is completely silly and heartwarming throughout and will make you laugh out loud on more than one occasion. ...  The question and answer format is ideal to use as a model for children when writing their own questions and there are lots of lovely adjectives to discuss. Books for Topics

This Book is Pants - review comment Red Reading Hub: All you need to do is bag yourself a copy of the book, wear the appropriate snazzy pants as required and prepare for action: pantalicious fun assured. I forgot to mention that for the best results you’ll also need an audience of one or preferably quite a few, young listeners.
