Mopoke is a deceptively simple book.So begins this delightful, understated picture book featuring (as the title suggests) a Mopoke – or bookbook owl. Each spread features just one line of text – or even a single word, as the Mopoke becomes a poorpoke, a poshpoke, and a range of rhyming ‘pokes' – slowpoke, yopoke, crowpoke and so on. By the end of the book, the Mopoke begins to look bothered, before squawking (hooting?) in frustration and flying away. Apparently, what the Mopoke wants – peace and quite – is not going to be found on this branch.The illustrations, on black backgrounds representing the night sky, are simple, with the Mopoke seated on a single branch, a few stars in the background, and occasional appearances from other animals, including other Mopokes and – surprisingly – a wombat, the surprise of which will makechildren laugh.Adult readers should find the repetition and simplicity of the text an opportunity to use expression and encourage child participation.Suitable for children ages 3+ years.Dimensions:28.0 cm x21.0 cm x1.2 cm
