Original Book on Book Dash: How About You? (opens in a new tab)- Reading
- Pause at the characters’ changing expressions and invite your child to describe what they notice; let them answer the closing question in their own way.
- Themes
- Friendship across differences: Two children with differing preferences and habits meet Gogo and are shown together at the end. The ending and closing invitation present togetherness as compatible with being different.
- Asking about one another: The characters ask about identity, age and preferences, and the book turns the question back to its reader. The repeated questions make curiosity and sharing preferences central to the interaction.
- Worth knowing
- Gogo looks unusual and sometimes cross, with sharp teeth and goo around them; the expressions are exaggerated, and the story’s tone appears playful rather than threatening.
