Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. A mother searches for her hiding puppy.

Answer: Where's Spot?

Written by Eric Hill in 1980, "Where's Spot" tells the story of a friendly yellow puppy with brown spots. It's an interactive book that allows children to lift flaps as they join Spot's mother in her search for the puppy. The author created the book for his own son. The book was wildly popular and has been translated into over fifty languages.
2. This Dick Bruna book, which features a rabbit in a dress, is the first in a series of over thirty.

Answer: Miffy

"Miffy" was published in 1963 by Dutch author Dick Bruna. The illustrations are simple, with only slight variations to show Miffy's feelings. In subsequent books, Bruna introduced more characters, including Poppy Pig and Barbara Bear.
3. A brown-and-white dog can't get comfortable and looks to other animals to learn how to sleep.

Answer: Kipper

The writer and illustrator of this book has an amazingly appropriate last name - Inkpen. The English author, Mick Inkpen, wrote "Kipper" in 1952. Kipper appeared earlier as a little boy's best friend in "The Blue Balloon." As it turns out, Kipper is unable to sleep because he tidied up his basket, and only after he returns all his toys can he settle in for the night.

The enormously popular series of books has sold millions of copies worldwide.
4. The title character of this book chants, "I-think-I-can, I-think-I can."

Answer: The Little Engine That Could

Written by Watty Piper and illustrated by Lois Lenski, this American classic was first published in 1930. It tells the story of a broken-down train carting Christmas toys. A little blue engine is asked to lug the train up the hill, and she must find stores of confidence within herself to do it.
5. Published in 1940, this was one of the first "touch and feel" books.

Answer: Pat the Bunny

Written and illustrated by Dorothy Kunhardt, "Pat the Bunny" was published by Golden Books. The author was trying to create an interactive book for her own baby girl. She did so by adding scratch and sniff and touch and feel elements. The book allows kids to play peek-a-boo by lifting a flap and to feel Daddy's scratchy beard, among other activities.
6. Mr. and Mrs. Mallard come to Boston to raise their family.

Answer: Make Way for Ducklings

Robert McCloskey published this classic animal-themed children's picture book in 1941. After much trial and error and adventure, Mr. and Mrs. Mallard nest in a public garden. Toward the end of the book, the Boston Police Department clears the way for the little ducklings, led by their mother Mrs. Mallard, to cross the busy Boston streets.
7. This companion book to "Goodnight Moon" stars a little rabbit.

Answer: The Runaway Bunny

Illustrated by Clement Hurd and written by Margaret Wise Brown, this book was published in 1942 and has remained in continuous print as of 2019. Margaret Wise Brown's second book, "Goodnight Moon", was even more popular. In "Goodnight Moon," the reader can see a depiction of the "Runaway Bunny" book among the illustrations.
8. A small, young badger has trouble sleeping.

Answer: Bedtime for Frances

This 1960 children's picture book classic was written by Russell Hoban and illustrated by Garth Williams. The naughty Frances won't settle down for bed, but she finally does after being threatened with a spanking.
9. Kids can put their fingers through ever-enlarging holes in this book by Eric Carle.

Answer: The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Published in 1969, "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" tells the story of a caterpillar that hatches and begins to eat its way through a series of leaves and other vegetation before it forms its cocoon and emerges as a beautiful butterfly. The author has said he got the idea for putting holes in the book, to mimic the caterpillar eating through the vegetation, by playing with a hole puncher when he was a boy.
10. A family takes a walk, encounters obstacles, and runs all the way home.

Answer: We're Going on a Bear Hunt

"We're Going on a Bear Hunt" is based on an old American nursery rhyme and tells the tale of a father and three children going for a very imaginative walk. The illustrator, Helen Oxenbury, has produced drawings for many other children's books and has won two Kate Greenaway Medals for her work.

The author, Michael Rosen, was the British Children's Laureate from 2007 to 2009. The book was published in 1989.
