It was fun. It's not super perfect, but I liked it. It would be fun to read one-on-one.

I loved [b:Do You Know Which Ones Will Grow|10427002|Do You Know Which Ones Will Grow?|Susan A. Shea|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1333598567s/10427002.jpg|15331386] so I eagerly snapped this up when it came to my library. Interestingly, it has the same illustrator, but a different author, and yet the results are right on par. Both books ask readers to puzzle out simple but interesting questions. In Do You Know it was whether something was alive or not. In What Is Part This a variety of things are broken down into two parts and the kids can either guess what the second part is (from the rhymes and illustrations there are ample clues) or in some cases guess which thing is being described from the parts. Here are some examples:

Just like a bee is part BUZZ and part STING,
A rap song is part TALK and part SING.

This pretty mermaid is part FISH and part GIRL.
What's found in the sea that's part SHELL and part PEARL?

Can't wait to do this in story time.

I am not sure on this one, I need to see the actual book as the ERC confused me with what looked like flaps. I see from other reviewers that, indeed, it does have flaps. When I see this book I may change my mind about it.

Interesting concept that younger readers will be intrigued by.
