Spike & Ike Take a Hike by S.D. Schindler- ADVISABLE


Schindler, S.D. Spike & Ike Take a Hike.  32 pgs.  Nancy Paulsen Books, 2013.  $16.99 PICTURE BOOK. When Spike and Ike take a hike, they meet many different animals.  First they meet a big bee…a big bumblebee…a big buzzy bumblebee…a big busy buzzy bumblebee! Whether a bee, a frog, or a kitty, the creatures they meet become more and more animated with each page.  In the end, whether buzzy, spitty or soggy, all the friends join together for a special picnic lunch.  We liked the detailed illustrations and the cartoon captions on each page which added dimension and detail to the storyline.  Pre-K. EL (K-3). OPTIONAL. Reviewer: SL.
