CAN I KEEP IT? by Lisa Jobe

Lisa Jobe's adorable picture book debut CAN I KEEP IT? (Page Street Kids; 2019) transported me back to my childhood, when I watched my big brother set traps with cardboard boxes, sticks and string for ever-elusive birds. The repetitive structure, relatable content, and amazing paper cut-out illustrations make this a perfect book for the preschool crowd. In the classroom, it will come in handy for lessons regarding wild and tame animals. Children will love searching for the orange cat among the pages!
