RATINGS
CHILDREN: So cute with such fun rhyme and word play. Girls love books about babies. (Or at least my girl does.)

PARENTS: A cute book! This is the kind of book I typically don't read anymore, but the rhyme and rhythm drew me in. I wish I had this book when my daughter was one, two, or even three. Alas, now she is five. I would have read this one over and over. I'm sure she would have loved it even more when she was younger.

A definite must for PRESCHOOL teachers. Activities could range from finger painting to finger play songs, from body part recognition to body movement activities, or from playing dress-up to acting out in a play.WRITERS:
Another "shortie". Less than 300 words. I love the RHYME! Lots of internal rhyme. The meter is so fun to read aloud. All the ending lines rhyme with "girl".
I really like the rhyme in the book! Sounds cute :)
ReplyDeleteThis does sound like a lot of fun for real littlies!
