Teacher comments

My seven-year old daughter heard a story from this book read by a dear elderly friend. She came home and told me the story word for word. She repeated it to her school during story time the next day. Since then I have used it as a play for my classes. The stories is this book truly speak to the children. They are about children and adventure and animals; all the things children love. The repetitive phrases add a lyric quality to the writings and help the children retell them. They make good stories for imaginative play during outside time.
