Just the title alone makes you want to read this book. With illustrations that are comical and extremely kid friendly and dialogue that is as fun as it gets, there is really no chance of going wrong with this book.
Alicia Potter does an excellent job of telling a story about a unique mountain goat in search of a herd that he can Fandango with. I love the characters that he comes across as well as their unique talents. It makes reading this a lot of fun! (Especially when you get to Yodel, not something I have an excuse to do everyday!)
My kids love the bright and lively illustrations. They are a perfect fit for this book. Ethan Long has illustrated a HUGE number of books and if you click his name it will take you to his blog which is fantastic. There are fun facts about him and some of his art is on there as well.
I will end this post with a direct quote from my daughter Sydney, "Mom, we are going to read about Fritzy tomorrow night too, huh? 'Cause we love to Fandango don't we?!"
Oh yes, we love to Fandango!
Here's an UPDATE from Ethan Long:
ReplyDeleteI do have some books coming out. I find it hard to keep up with them. You can find release dates for the newest ones on http://barnesandnoble.com
There are also 10 more ZeFronk episodes coming out. Don’t know the date yet.
Sincerely,
Ethan Long
