DePalma, Mary Newell. Uh-oh!. Grand Rapids MI: Eerdmans Books for Young Readers, 2011. Print. 32 pages.
Age Group:	6 months to 4 years
Book Format:	Picture Book
Annotation:	A wordless book except for the words Uh-Oh!. The pictures portray a youngster who gets into one mess after another. Each mess he tries to clean up turns into a bigger disaster.
Personal Reaction:	The illustrations are drawn with what looks like water color and pencil. The characters are drawn to look like lizards or dinosaurs living in a modern day house. Young readers can use their current vocabulary and try to determine what is happening on each set of pages. With the interaction of the adults during the “reading” of the story, children will increase their oral language by telling and retelling what could be happening on the pages. A great book to use for ages 6 months through 4 years old as parents can begin telling what is going on and as the child grows will be able to rely on their own vocabulary as stated above
Keywords/Tags:	Fiction, Behavior, Humorous Story
Early Literacy Skills Enhancements:	This wordless books allows a child to develop print motivation, the desire to read, narrative skills, and vocabulary by creating their own narration to the illustrations to build upon visual literacy skills
