If you and your toddler are going through the "Uh-Oh!" stage, you are sure to both enjoy Uh-Oh! by Mary Newell DePalma about a little lizard creature who is having one of those days where nothing is going right.There are very few words in this book, mostly just "Uh-Oh!" and lots of fun pictures that show a crazy chain of events that any toddler will relate to. DePalma's engaging illustrations will give your toddler lots to point out as you tell the story together by reading the pictures.
At one point in the book, after using an entire roll of toilet paper to try and sop up a gallon of spilt milk, the little creature decides the bathroom rug would be more absorbent. After thinking a moment about what to do with the dirty rug and looking over at the dishwasher, he decides put it in with the entire box of soap of course! But we see a picture that suggests this isn't a good idea. A maginfying glass shows us some writing on the soap box that says, "Do not overfill soapdish." You can have a fun conversation about what will happen next as you pour over the pictures and read to the end.
