I use this in my classroom to teach my students to rhyme

I'm a teacher of pre-k children in a public school. Rhyming is one skill the children are required to know before entering kindergarten. Not only do the children love this book, but they also feel like they are "reading" because they memorize it after a dozen readings. I read it every day for about a month (we have school 3 days a week) and every child has learned to rhyme and I really do credit this book as the foundation of how I teach rhyme. (Of course, I use rhyme in other ways. However this book is a large part) Excellent book!

For the younger reader

This is a cute, colorful story but is definitely intended for a young audience. It was a little more simplistic than I had anticipated so I would recommend it for children under the age of 5 or for the emerging reader, since it has simple, rhyming text.
