Description: Theodor Seuss Geisel Award-winning author-illustrator Jonathan Fenske adds another hilarious early reader to his acclaimed and zany collection. Readers will love hearing what these ears have to say!
There are many kinds of ears. Some are round, some are pointy. Some are bare, some are furry. Did you know some ears can be bumpy and tasty?Brief description: Jonathan Fenske is the author of many children's books including The Bug in the Bog; Pill Bug Does Not Need Anybody; After Squidnight; Let's Play, Crabby!; Wake Up, Crabby!; and Plankton Is Pushy (all Junior Library Guild selections), and the Lego picture book I'm Fun, Too!. His early reader Stop That Mop! won the 2026 Theodor Seuss Geisel Award while Nothing Fits a Dinosaur and A Pig, a Fox, and a Box were named Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Books. Jonathan lives in Greenville, South Carolina, with his wife and three daughters.
Review Quotes: The text is large, with adjectives uniquely bolded and colored for emphasis, making this title great for guided reading and small group read-alouds. VERDICT Acclaimed author/illustrator Fenske effectively infuses a silly story with basic facts about ears--both the listening kind and the edible kind; a solid purchase for early reader collections.--School Library Journal "5/15/2026"
