In some books, the repetition of sounds can become tedious, but Dyckman’s agile deployment comes off as charming and allows children who are just beginning to decode print the opportunity to practice and build confidence in service of a cheerful, relatable story. ?e strong lines and bold, vaguely retro hues in Elio’s images add to the appeal...Three cheers for this unique and enjoyable story and friendship team. Though simple, the text includes a message about friendship and including others. Sound imagery—plink, clink, beep—engages children’s senses. There is also an opportunity to discuss scientific properties with children, as Og’s clever plan to retrieve the lost cog uses a large magnet. Young makers and creators will be excited by what the characters build at the end of the story.
