Like the other book by the same illustrator, What Is Part This, Part That?, Do You Know Which Ones Will Grow? is a very engaging book that has been creatively conceptualised and presented using colourful illustrations, rhyming text and fold-outs.
This time, as the title suggests, the book tries to get the reader to think about the things that can grow vs. those that cannot — which is also a simple way to differentiate between living and non-living things.
The fun, interactive nature of the book — using fold-out pages, wacky comparisons and humorous text styled in the form of questions, for example, “If a duckling grows and becomes a duck, can a car grow and become a truck?” — makes it very easy for the little ones to understand the ideas presented, and makes for an enjoyable read.
