AlbakiReads Editorial

A picture-book game of visual surprises

A cut-through hole offers only part of an image, inviting a guess before the page turn reveals something else: a shape that seemed like a plum might become the moon, a tiger, or a hippo’s bum. Dan and Finn Ojari build the book around that small act of looking again, pairing rhyming call-and-response text with playful visual transformations. The format makes each page a shared guessing game, with humor emerging from the gap between the first impression and the reveal. Its father-and-son origins are part of the book’s story, rooted in Finn Ojari’s original idea and drawings.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy humorous picture books and visual guessing games
  • Families and caregivers seeking a read-aloud with opportunities to guess together
  • Readers who enjoy rhyming text and playful illustrations

Book overview

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - Is this a pear? No, it's a bear!

This delightfully clever keepsake picture book is full of visual tricks and rhyming reveals to inspire wonder while making you chuckle--brought to life by an Oscar-nominated animator and based on his seven-year-old son's original idea and drawings!

Through the hole in the page, you might see a plum... or a spider... or a spoon. But turn the page to see the full picture and--SURPRISE!--it's something unexpected: the moon, a tiger, even a hippo's bum!

This deceptively simple picture book debut by father-and-son duo Dan and Finn Ojari uses bold, stylish art, rhyming call-and-response text, and cut-through holes that play with shape and color to create a deeply satisfying read-aloud experience for children and adults.
