Review by Ranim Sankari:
This is a wonderful book that has many great aspects and one of them is some of the repetitiveness text throughout the story. It helps the child read along and stay engaged when reading it. The illustrations are so compatible with the text that it helps the readers visualize the text along with the help of the illustrations themselves. The humor portrayed in this book is also a great aspect that helps the child stay focused and interested to see what happens in the end.
This book would be useful when teaching…
