Spectacular Illustrations
This is a fun, quick, simple read that the littler kids will enjoy. There’s not a lot of meat to it, but the pleasant meter and rhymes that make sense without any forcing or weird syntax. The text pairs neatly with the pictures without any weird breaks.
I am a huge fan of Nadine Bernard Westcott’s illustrations. With strong lines, lots of movement and bright colors, her illustrations are amusing and make a simple, silly story a fun fall read.
