(I used to be My Boaz’s Ruth but then had a daughter named Ruth so had to change my blog name)

I missed your poll this year That’s what comes when you get too busy to read blogs for a while!

But I bought this book based on your review and now my son is reading it for himself! We love it. Especially for teaching the concept of rhyming!

Now that you mention it, I suppose I do! I’d never really identified which voices I prefer, but if I were to select them for the Rhyming Dust Bunnies TV show (oh you just KNOW somebody’s pitching that right now) that would be where I’d go. Either that or crazy celebrities. Bob as James Earl Jones, say.

Am I the only one who hears the voices of Veggie Tales characters in my head when reading this book?

*crickets*

Okay, just me then.

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite go-to read-alouds. It works for older kids and younger kids! And grown-ups!

This was the sleeper hit of my preschool class this year. I think if I had read it every day for the whole school year they would have laughed just as hard as they did on Day One.

Oh wow, as it so happens I’ve made this into a readers theater and my second graders are regaling us all this last week of school.

Good call, Bob.
