The Mount Everest of rhyming books! It is the big brother to a Dr. Seuss!

The Mount Everest of rhyming books!! Really a treasure! I keep purchasing this for gifts. The rhyming stacks up from two words to three, and all the way to five!!! A real and fun challenge for a grownup or an accomplished reader. I used this as the benchmark for my son’s reading therapy; when they said he had achieved grade….I gave him this to read cold. He read it with inflection and at the pace of the action!….mom was convinced and happily signed him off reading help!!…. Can not say enough about this book. It is the big brother to a Dr. Seuss!
