Goodreads Reviews

"The layout is perfect for learning the alphabet in a fun and entertaining way."

"As a teacher and librarian, I would definitely include this book in a recommended reading list for parents and educators who are looking for titles that will build pre-literacy skills in children aged 0-4."

"My three, almost four-year-old is learning to read and spell, so visually seeing the letters connected to the cute animals' body parts was exciting for her. My 18 month old is just beginning to learn letters, and these are big enough on the page that she can point to them and even trace them with her fingers."

"My 3yo loved it!"

There's an N on Your Nose is a beautifully illustrated, fun book for children who are learning their letters. The delightful, rhyming text and pictures work together to create an interactive experience for parents, grandparents, teachers and other adults to enjoy with young children.

★ 2022-03-31
A host of animal children play with the letters in this beautifully illustrated picture book.

When a koala wakes, there’s a letter N balancing on the animal’s nose. A penguin looks down at the T on its toes. As the poem progresses, an elephant, a lion cub, a monkey, a giraffe, some quokkas, and more get ready for school as letters dance across the pages, spelling out whatever part of the body the poem describes. Maris’ illustrations position the first letters of words directly on the animal, with the rest of the word dangling from a clothesline that bisects the illustration. Some of the animals are paired with the letter that starts their name (the elephant has E for eyes and ears, the llama has an L for lips), but that’s the exception rather than the rule. Canfield’s silly poem scans well, and the simple vocabulary and short phrases, paired with the emphasis on letters, make this a perfect choice for newly independent readers growing their skills. Maris’ painterly illustrations feature realistic looking animals dressed in clothing and accessories. The elephant wears glasses, and the giraffe has a prosthetic leg. The appealing characters are well textured, with fur that looks soft to the touch.

For emergent readers, this abecedarian tour of the animal world is an excellent choice.
