Where Have You Been? 
By Margaret Wise Brown
illustrated by Leo and Diane Dillon

     Where Have You Been? offers young readers colorful pictures and rhyming fun.

    Miss Owl is very inquisitive. She has her book. She has her ink and feather pen. She's asking them all: "Where have you been?" She asks a cat, a squirrel, and a bee. Why she even asks the old whale in the sea. But that's not all. There's still more. So if you want to read the answers of everyone and the Rook, and why Miss Owl is scribbling furiously in her big red book, you'll have to open the cover and look!

    Sorry, couldn't resist and neither will the young ones. Rhyming is a fun learning tool. Miss Owl IS inquisitive and she shows young readers that it's okay to be curious and it's okay to ask questions. But what's even better? Rhyming! Give it a try!

     The award-winning illustrators Leo and Diane do a wonderful job of adding their touch to the already popular rhyming story. The attractive, large pictures have an old-fashioned look about them. The interesting font and the little people included in the animal world give the story its final touch of whimsy.
