Sometimes I Wonder If Poodles Like Noodles

By Laura Joffe Numeroff

Book Overview

Sometimes I wonder
do lions use irons,
Do poodles
eat noodles,
Can chickens
read Dickens...
WHAT'S THAT? You don't know the answers, you haven't a clue? That's okay -- sometimes it's fun just to wonder. In this collection of playful poems there are musings about everything in a child's world, from A Day at the Beach to My Friend's Freckles (do they go all the way down to your toes?). The short verses are a delight to read aloud and are brought to life in funny, imaginative pictures. This book is sure to inspire plenty of giggles as it challenges readers to find the silliness in their own surrounding

Customer Reviews

great poetry for early learners/readers

Need an interesting and a fun approach to teach rhyming and a love of poetry to emergent readers? Well, this is a hit, at least it was in my kindergarten class. My 5/6 year olds loved it! I would highly recommend this to parents, teachers, librarians, and anyone else who is interested in developing a love of reading in their children. Studies show that rhyming is a first-step to reading, and I see it in my classes each year. I enjoyed this myself as a tool in shaping my students' reading skills. Have fun!!!

Great Gift for Child's Birthday

After purchasing the book for my son, I decided to purchase this book for each of the families attending his birthday party. It was a great little party favor gift rather than candy or silly little noise makers. The art is very well put together to incorporate relevant pieces from each story. My son looks at the pictures and picks out different animals each time we read it. The story talks about riding on the tale of a whale and within the pictures you see a child riding the tale of a whale.

If Poodles could read ...

They would read this delightful book! What a lovely book for children to experience the love and joy of poodles. It mae me so happy!

Warm and cute

It may not have the greatest rhymes but it relates well to the familiar activities of children and catches their attention.
