I say Ooh You say Aah

John Kane (Author, Illustrator) When John Kane was younger, he liked to make up stories for his little sister. Jimmy and Bear, who appeared in them, are still remembered to this day. John lives in Dublin, but has also lived in Australia, where he set up Australia's number one independent advertising agency. His first book is I Say Ooh. You say Aah and his plan is that it won't be the last.

John Kane's book is a laugh-out-loud call and response picture book. The author entreats the readers, nursery year to Year 2, to speak or act in certain ways in response to certain keywords or illustrations. The most important trigger is as follows: when you see an ant, you must say underpants. The pandemonium created by such a command among children of the target age is easy to imagine, being as they are somewhat obsessed with bodily functions and underwear.?The author's friend is a donkey named Ooh. When this donkey manages to lose his underpants, it transpires that they are adorning the head of the reader. Where else would they be??The aim of this book is to use themes that are fascinating to readers of a certain age to improve their skills in listening, learning and recognition.?The book is sure to be a hit with its target readership.
