good for phonics class

This is an amusing picture book in which alliterations are maximized. I collect such books because of their purpose in phonics class. However, don't repeat my mistake by ordering both "Berenstains' C Book" and "C is for Clown." They are both the same book with different titles.

Enormous good fun - and good for learning the tricky C sounds

I realised just how popular this was with my 2 year old when she started talking about Cats carrying canes and collies carrying clubs. Its funny what kids take in but she really loves this book and it clearly has an effect on her too. Its a simple story - a circus of c words - there is clarence the clown (Papa Berenstain I would say) and then he is loaded up with all kinds of things like Cats carrying canes, cows carrying cakes, Clara Catfish and so on - until CRASH Good fun story, your 2 year and up will love the simple illustrations and enjoy browsing through themselves. A nice introduction to a single letter of the alphabet.

The authors' name says all.

The text consists of words beginning with C, all with a K sound, with a minimum of any other words. This is a great idea for teaching beginning readers, and I wish there were more books like this. The illustrations are cute and the story is funny. In other words, it's by the Berenstains. If you like the Berenstains, and if you like picture books with alliterative text, then you have two good reasons to try Berenstain's B Book, 0394823249. However, don't repeat my mistake by ordering both "Berenstains' C Book" and "C is for Clown." They are both the same book with different titles.
