"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.

Candace Fleming and Eric Rohmann both live in Oak Park, Illinois.
