The Great Talent Show Blog is a captivating picture book written by Cedar Crest graduate Cora Aquino Yockers '77, illustrated by award-winning animator Ruben Aquino, and colored by digital artist Leonardo Aquino . This beautiful limited-edition hardcover book is printed in full color on high quality paper and is 11” by 8-½” in size and 32 pages in length.

Both entertaining and educational, this picture book is meant to be enjoyed by readers of all ages -- including grown-ups! And it can be read out loud to little ones who are too young to read on their own.

The book contains rhyming lines to help young readers decode words and letters. (And because rhyming phrases are just plain fun to say out loud.) Each page describes a silly animal scenario -- one for each letter of the alphabet. Children will enjoy finding out about unusual animals such as pangolins, quokkas and kinkajous. And they'll love saying big bodacious words like absolutely, bumbershoot and preposterous.
