About the author
Candace Fleming
66 books635 followersI have always been a storyteller. Even before I could write my name, I could tell a good tale. And I told them all the time. As a preschooler, I told my neighbors all about my three-legged cat named Spot. In kindergarten, I told my classmates about the ghost that lived in my attic. And in first grade I told my teacher, Miss Harbart, all about my family's trip to Paris, France.
I told such a good story that people always thought I was telling the truth. But I wasn't. I didn't have a three-legged cat or a ghost in my attic, and I'd certainly never been to Paris, France. I simply enjoyed telling a good story... and seeing my listener's reaction.
Sure, some people might have said I was a seven-year old fibber. But not my parents. Instead of calling my stories "fibs" they called them "imaginative." They encouraged me to put my stories down on paper. I did. And amazingly, once I began writing, I couldn't stop. I filled notebook after notebook with stories, poems, plays. I still have many of those notebooks. They're precious to me because they are a record of my writing life from elementary school on.
In second grade, I discovered a passion for language. I can still remember the day my teacher, Miss Johnson, held up a horn-shaped basket filled with papier-mache pumpkins and asked the class to repeat the word "cornucopia." I said it again and again, tasted the word on my lips. I tested it on my ears. That afternoon, I skipped all the way home from school chanting, "Cornucopia! Cornucopia!" From then on, I really began listening to words—to the sounds they made, and the way they were used, and how they made me feel. I longed to put them together in ways that were beautiful, and yet told a story.
As I grew, I continued to write stories. But I never really thought of becoming an author. Instead, I went to college where I discovered yet another passion—history. I didn't realize it then, but studying history is really just an extension of my love of stories. After all, some of the best stories are true ones — tales of heroism and villainy made more incredible by the fact they really happened.
After graduation, I got married and had children. I read to them a lot, and that's when I discovered the joy and music of children's books. I simply couldn't get enough of them. With my two sons in tow, I made endless trips to the library. I read stacks of books. I found myself begging, "Just one more, pleeeeease!" while my boys begged for lights-out and sleep. Then it struck me. Why not write children's books? It seemed the perfect way to combine all the things I loved: stories, musical language, history, and reading. I couldn't wait to get started.
But writing children's books is harder than it looks. For three years I wrote story after story. I sent them to publisher after publisher. And I received rejection letter after rejection letter. Still, I didn't give up. I kept trying until finally one of my stories was pulled from the slush pile and turned into a book. My career as a children's author had begun.

Absolutely can not look through this book without wanting to read it out loud. Compelling rhythm and rhyme patterns that are not too slavishly kept, which keeps the text feeling organic with a rich oral quality. Rich vocabulary too, the less-familiar animals; the juicy sounds; varied word choices (sniffled, whopping, grumbled, groaned, slunk) that aren't too much of a stretch for a younger listening audience. And the way the last verse almost exactly echoes the first one...nice touch that helps hold the story together.
The color is amazing, lush but not over-bright; the lines on the page are so supple, there is such motion on every layout. The title doesn't really tell you anything about the story but Rohmann uses the expressive animal faces on cover to get you settled right in. Love the strong vertical lines of the bamboo and the title panel against the strong diagonal line between Tiger and Loris' eyes: tells you right away that the animals are going to be at cross-purposes. And the narrative really begins on the endpapers as soon as you open the book! There's Tiger stalking Frog, and on the title page Tiger pounces and Frog leaps half off the page...and the text begins on the following page with Frog falling down that hole that is such a nice surprise because it was visible to no one (not Frog and not the reader) and not even hinted at on the cover. It all fits together so neatly: why does Tiger fall out of the tree? Because Elephant is stomping through the forest to help them out. And bonus points for leaving the Tiger in the hole instead of going moralistic and helping him out, for heaven's sake, why should they? Besides...the story KEEPS going on the back endpapers...where you see two orange paws on the edge of the hole. Tiger's not going to be stuck for long. And what is going to happen when he gets out? Love, love, love this.
Just might be my top pick of the year.

This is definitely a picture book more suited for very young children, as the story is very simple and the language is sing-songy, with many repetitive phrases and rhymes and very few surprises. I think it'd be a nice book to read aloud for story time, complete with prompts for high-pitched sound effects by a valiant adult, though I'm not sure it's one that is destined to become a perennial favorite.
I very much like the illustrations, however, particularly the sly tiger and the grumbly bear. A nice library read for little ones.

Rohmann has tried a new palette, and his woodcut-style outlines really work with this content. This book has great rhythm, and poetic usage that makes it a great read-aloud choice. The rhythm reminds me of other great books that forego rhyme, but have a distinct cadence (Owl Babies by Waddell & Benson comes to mind). The repeated chorus also reminded me of Charlotte Pomerantz & James Marshall's Piggy in the Puddle (even though this one rhymes). The prosody choices for reading the two-word 'oh no' will be a favorite read-aloud moment. Standard cumulative tale, not far off from The Mitten or Gingerbread Boy. A bit disappointed that the big strong elephant got to play the deus ex machina.

“Oh, No!” is about a little frog that falls into a huge hole. The hole happens to be right by where a tiger is sleeping. The frog is too little to jump out, so he calls for help. Different animals come along and try to help, but they end up falling in too. The tiger wakes up and looks down the hole. Instead of tiger seeing an opportunity to help the trapped animals out, he sees a nice, easy-to-catch meal. He leaps in, hoping to get some dinner, but elephant comes along in the nick of time to save all of the animals in the hole except one. Tiger ends up stuck in the hole with no one to help him, since he did not want to help them.
This book is for a young audience. It is easy to read and has a repetitive rhythm to it. It is a very good book for teaching kids that often time you get what you give. It could helps kids understand that if you are kind to someone, most of the time they will be kind back, but if you are mean to someone, you cannot expect that they will be nice to you. The teacher would obviously have to explain that this is not always true. There are examples of when someone is nice to another person, but that person is still mean to them. It is also a good way to teach children that it is important to help someone out when they need it because that could be them someday.
The pictures are fabulous in this book. The colors fill the pages from top to bottom, making the reader feel like they are in the story. The pictures help show what each of the animals is thinking and feeling.
I thought this was a great book. It can easily be incorporated in lessons when teaching children about reaping what you sow. It also helps show children that when someone is in trouble you should try to help them if you can.

A fun, read-out-loud book for young children. Frog falls in a hole and all of these various animals try to help rescue him, but through a series of unfortunate events, they too fall in the hole!

There's a lot of childish glee in a book like Oh, No! chock-a-block as it is with adorable animals and a Just-So-Story vibe. The text is jaunty and rhythmic, bleeding its way easily into a sign-song patter that almost demands you to read it aloud, even in the privacy of your own home (with no one to appreciate your story telling bravado but a permanently underwhelmed pair of pets).
Suddenly, the story ends and all your adult cogitating and over-analysis gives way to the fact that you just read a picture book, and kind of want to read it again. It's a fun story, told in a fun way and even without a child to bounce on your knee you can appreciate the pleasure of seeing a well-told story in such bright and vibrant style. While some gaps in illustrating the actual events and a wonky piece of perspective may eliminate it from the "judge-the-illustration-only" rules of the Caldecott committee, the pleasures of the story's lyrical prose and buoyant illustration will make me look for it whenever I begin to shop for my own children's bookshelf. After all, there's nothing wrong with a little childish glee.

KINDERGARTEN THEATER AHOY!
And the only problem with watching adorable children pretend to be a mouse and a sun bear and a slow loris and pretend to fall down a hole and then all call out "Oh no!" would be... not getting to see the excellent Eric Rohmann illustrations. These are illustrations executed in a greeny earthtone palette, dappled with filtered sunlight and stroked with brushy highlights.
I like Eric Rohmann as much as the next sentient mammal (which is to say a lot), but this is his best work so far. The reduction print process used here creates a grainy, semi-transparent texture, and the overlapping layers look just a little like woodcuts.

“Oh, No!” is a story about a group of animals who get themselves into a very sticky situation. As they try to get out, the problem only gets worse. A prowling tiger heightens their anxiety. The illustrations in this book are colorful and the characters’ emotions show clearly on their faces. This book is a suspenseful page turner with a cliff hanger ending and is excellent for children of many reading levels.
This would be a great book for a research project lesson. Children will choose an animal from the book to research. They will research the animal in books and on the internet at home and at school. They will create a diorama of the habitat that the animal lives in. They will present their diorama and a short report of the information they found to the class. This lesson would be appropriate for grades one through five.
The controversial ending of this book makes great material for a discussion about what the animals did in the end. After reading the book, the students and teacher can discuss the animals’ actions and whether or not the students would have done the same thing in that situation. Students could write alternate endings if they wanted to.
The text of this book has a great rhythm and lots of rhyming. This could be used in a lesson to teach children how to rhyme. This will increase students’ phonemic awareness.
Throughout the book, the animals are continually trying to help each other out of the pit. However, in the end, the tiger is left in the pit to presumably die. The compassion shown throughout most of the book comes to an abrupt end. This may be disturbing to young children and also may send a bad message.

A tiger is hungry and looking for a tasty treat. First he chases a frog into a deep hole, “Oh, No!” he exclaims. How is he to get out? Animal after animal attempts to help, but one after another they follow behind, joining the previous into the deep, deep hole. Meanwhile, Tiger lurks in jungle waiting to make his move and devour them all! In the end, he himself winds up in the hole while the others get rescued by an elephant.
This is a cute story that young readers will love! It teaches the importance of helping others and how it is important to treat others the way you want to be treated. One controversial point that can be brought up however, is that in the end the Tiger himself is not rescued by the other animals, instead he is left stranded in the hole as the others walk away. If helping others was the point of the story maybe the author should have had the characters come back to save the tiger, just sayin’.
Uses in the classroom:
• Teach kindness (the importance of helping others)
• Animal research (students can pick an animal from the story to learn more about and present to the class)
• Reader’s Theater (students can act out the book)

I had looked forward to Oh, No! for quite some time, ever since I had read tons of positive and starred reviews on it. I definitely think I'm in the minority on this, but I thought it was just ok. I really did enjoy Caldecott-winner Eric Rohmann's illustrations--they were simple yet vibrant. But the text left me wanting. It's very repetitive, and not in a good way. There's definitely a place for repetition in picture books; it helps children to learn words and phrases. But the phrases repeated are overly complicated and don't really lend themselves to repetition. Nevertheless, this would be a good read-aloud because there are various animal sounds made as animals fall into the hole (plot summary: various animals fall into a hole trying to rescue each other) like "ribbit-oops!" I think this would still make a good read-aloud (animal-related, perhaps), but I expected more, and it could've been better.

One by one, several animals end up in a hole so deep that they cannot get out without help. A frog, a mouse, a loris, a sun bear, and a monkey all try and fail to get out of that hole. In the end, an elephant saves the day, rescuing them all from the hungry tiger who has been lurking nearby. Young readers will love the wonderful animal sounds used throughout the book. For instance, the tiger licks his teeth with a "slop-slurp! Slop-slurp!" (unpaged). Anyone reading this one aloud will also enjoy making those sounds, and the repetitive "Oh, no!" phrase that appears as each animal gets trapped. But what just about everyone who reads this book will particularly enjoy is how the tiger gets his just desserts and how the "Oh, no!" is turned on him in the end. The relief prints created by using the reduction method assure readers that the book is set somewhere in Asia. I adored the expressions on the faces of those animals and the story itself. I'll be surprised if young readers don't clamor for several rereadings of this title.

Oh, No, wrote by Candace Fleming I feel is a very good candidate for the 2013 Caldecott-winner. This vibrant book would be delightful for all young children. The repetitive tone and also the amazing artwork within the book will draw children’s attention. This would be an astonishing read aloud for a younger classroom! I really enjoyed how Fleming put sounds of each animal intertwined into the book, I feel as if children would find it funny and entertaining to hear there teach talk in such funny tones. The expressions on each animals face described exactly what there were experiencing without words. I think that is one of many reasons why this would be a good candidate for the Caldecott-winner. It is hard to find a book with a funny yet interesting story line, with the amazing and beautifully designed illustration. Amazing story and can not wait to read it to my students!

As I read this, storytime ideas insisted on coming to mind. This could be very fun. Great illustrations to entertain the children as well as help them figure out what is happening in the story. I think this will work well. Can't wait to have the kids cry out "Oh No!" every time!
4/24/13 & 4/25/13: Good, but not as great as I imagined. The groups kind of picked up on saying "oh no" with me, but not enthusiastically. However, they did like looking for the tiger on the pages. And in both groups I had children guess correctly of who was coming to help them. It worked even if not as well as I had hoped.

I came across the cover of this book and was immediately drawn. I LOVED THIS BOOK. It was beautifully illustrated and written! It starts of with a frog falling into a hole in the rain forest and various animals try and help rescuing him, but through a series of unfortunate events, they fall into the hole too! They all exclaim Oh No! The animals are all very intricate and created perfectly. The great rhythm and poetic usage makes it a perfect read-aloud. Children will love having the opportunity to help each creature with their cries! You can be so creative with this book! I would highly recommend it to all and it would be best read to K-3 students.
September 26, 2012
Lush, vibrant, and strongly outlined characters help illustrate this fablesque story. Children will love the many opportunities to assist each creature with their individual cries (frog yells Ribbitoops as he falls into a large hole)and then join in the chorus of Oh No!! as each one realizes their plight. They will also take equal pleasure in the crafty tigers eventual cry of Oh No! as the tables are turned. This would pair nicely with "Monkey: A Trickster Tale from India" for a nice jungle theme. I can already hear drums!!

I don't know if kids would like this better than I, but it took me awhile to get from my library as it seems it's always checked out. I like the art quite a bit, but I kept thinking that there was going to be a twist in the story, like the tiger was going to rescue the smaller animals (and not eat them) or something. But no, nothing original except the begging-to-be-read-aloud rhythm and repetitions.
Still, I loved that the animals weren't typical barnyard cliches, and I like the epilogue

This is a fun book to read aloud. The rhyming, rhythmic, and repetitive narrative is perfect for young audiences and the illustrations are comic and colorful. The story lends itself nicely to a group read, where children will be ready to add an enthusiastic "Oh, no!" at the right place.
We loved the different animals in this tale and hypothesized about the setting of the book. Even though the level of this book is a bit young for our girls, we enjoyed reading it together.

At first I was a bit annoyed by the repetitiveness and simplicity, especially perhaps after having read several really lovely picture books (many of them over and over again) with a 4 year old who's favorite books right now are "Chloe and the Lion", "Bee-Wigged" and "Goldilocks and Just One Bear." But there's a quiet (sly?) wit, and the art is great and I've always enjoyed folk-tales. I don't see this one becoming a favorite, but I'm glad I got it out of the library.
September 24, 2012
The illustrations in this book are stunning, and take up the entire space on each page. Chock full of onomatopoeia and action verbs, it's a fun story to read aloud. Young readers will have to pay extra attention to the illustrations, as some parts of the story are explained only through the pictures.

I'm putting together a Tiger story time and this one looks like a good fit! All of the animals fall into a big hole in the ground, while Tiger lurks in the background. All of the animals are scared when Tiger looms over the pit with a hungry grin and offers to pull them out. Thankfully, they're all saved by a big elephant, who incidentally knocks Tiger into the pit!
November 13, 2012
My second graders loved this book. They loved the repeating lines and pictures. They also pointed out the onomatopoeia and exclamation points. We had just talked about exclamation points. Great book and I love the surprise ending!
October 10, 2012
A variety of animals fall into a hole that's too large to escape. Familiar refrains, animal noises, and repetition make this a GREAT read aloud. Illustrations are excellent and display each animal's distinctive markings in a soft way. Must see/read!
December 2, 2012
This reminded me of the opposite of Stuck by Oliver Jeffers. One by one jungle animals fall in a hole, in danger of a hungry tiger pouncing upon them. Fortunately, an elephant saves the day! Kids will enjoy the animal sounds. I will use this in our word play unit for onomatopeoia.
June 16, 2014
This book has nice pictures but the story is so wrong! A tiger pit is used and then the tiger is left in it. And we are suppose to feel good about that? I don't think so! I would not read this in any classroom.

A fabulously fun collaboration, perfect for reading aloud.

Loved it. Simple, rhythmic, rain forest, great illustrations.

Can't wait to read this one aloud with all of the fun animal sounds.

I hated this book! I found the underlined message is to bully those who may not be your best friend.
July 7, 2021
Great rhythm. Can't wait to read it to my 3s and 4s. They'll get a kick out of the storyline and the repeated "Oh, no!" From the frog falling on page one, I adored Eric Rohmann's illustrations. Such amazing expression!
