Review by Ranim Sankari: This is a wonderful book when it comes to the lovely rhyming incorporated within the text. The narrative structure of this book is a wonderful way to show students what elements make up a narrative. Including a moral to the story along with teaching young readers the sound of what animals make are two incredible positives that children can learn by. The written text was very inviting and friendly due to the color that was chosen by the illustrator. The illustrations are an extra guide for children to use as a visual as they are being read to.This book would be useful when teaching…
