Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Potential yook of the bear.” Washington Post Book World
“Children will love these clever poems and without prompting will probably create their own, unaware that they are focusing on a key reading skill: phonemic awareness. This is a treasure.” School Library Journal (starred review)
“A fun-filled new offering…Children who have some fluency in reading will enjoy this bonsensical nook the most.” Amazon.com, editorial review
“Kids will instantly adopt the infectious wordplay on the subjects straight from their daily lives: Will it be a ‘peanut jutter and belly’ or ‘sam handwich’ for lunch?” Booklist
