Surprisingly excellent to read aloud. (Even when I sound like an idiot doing the sound effects.)

"Oh, No!" The animals in the forest have found themselves in quite a predicament. One by one the animals have tumbled into a hole. Now tiger is hot on their trail licking his lips to see a hole filled with such tasty treats. Can elephant rescue them in time, and what will they do about tiger?
Children ages two through six were drawn in by the made-up language of the animals and chanted along each time "Oh, No" was repeated. The illustrations provided interest for groups of all sizes, but the large size illustrations especially facilitated large group reads. Children asked to forgo a second story for the opportunity to hear Oh, No! one more time.

As much as I loved [b:My Friend Rabbit|118230|My Friend Rabbit|Eric Rohmann|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1317066989s/118230.jpg|2060302], I only felt so so about this one after reading it. I may have expected too much. The illustrations are still beautiful, and the cover and jacket art very cool. I simply wasn't enthralled by the story. I didn't enjoy the repeats, maybe I just didn't get the rhythm. Kids may still love it, and in fact it sort of reminded me of [b:We're Going on a Bear Hunt|201126|We're Going on a Bear Hunt|Michael Rosen|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1348008481s/201126.jpg|1974395] (another one where I struggled a little with the rhythm), I wouldn't be surprised if it was partly inspired by it.
It's still a great read-aloud, just doesn't have the charm of the predecessor, My Friend Rabbit.

KINDERGARTEN THEATER AHOY!
And the only problem with watching adorable children pretend to be a mouse and a sun bear and a slow loris and pretend to fall down a hole and then all call out "Oh no!" would be... not getting to see the excellent Eric Rohmann illustrations. These are illustrations executed in a greeny earthtone palette, dappled with filtered sunlight and stroked with brushy highlights.
I like Eric Rohmann as much as the next sentient mammal (which is to say a lot), but this is his best work so far. The reduction print process used here creates a grainy, semi-transparent texture, and the overlapping layers look just a little like woodcuts.

Enjoyable tale of cooperation featuring less-common animals.

the kids liked the tiger aspect, but the repetition of the wordplay wasn't entertaining to them. Don't think I'll repeat it again, although maybe if I have a tiger week.

August 2016 - gorgeous pictures, with a repetitive story that you really have to commit to in order to make it sound good. Good for making predictions about what will happen to each animal. This turned into a favorite for Ben.
April 2019 - Ben pulled this off the shelf at the library and enjoyed it again.

I liked the rhythm of the story, but I so did not like the tiger being left in the hole to die.

Oh No! by Candace Fleming and Eric Rohmann tells the story of a group of animals that fall into a large hole one at a time.
The repetitive text makes this book a fantastic read aloud (I have my students say Oh No with high low tones each time it comes up). The kids love this story and ask to hear it over and over.
I recommend this book to kids 3-8 and it's a great one for classroom libraries (and music teacher collections).
