Ook the Book: And Other Silly Rhymes

A fabulous resource for teaching phonics concepts in a primary classroom. Each page or 2-page spread is a silly rhyme with cheery illustrations offering good picture support. Students will enjoy joining Ow the Cow, Ake the Snake, Y the Fly, Eep the Sheep, Ook the Book, In the Twin, Ug the Bug, At the Cat, Et the Pet, Ee the Bee, Ing the Thing and Id the Kid on their zany adventures.

I use this book with my students to introduce word families and have them write their own poetry. It is a great read aloud and read along. The kids enjoy it and are able to make their own word family poetry. Lots of great decodable language...

This is a great book! We started making up our own ryhmes (like in the book). Here are some (in progress):I am on, on the Jon!I am air, air the chair. I am bare, please do not stare!

Lissa Rovetch has taken some of the fundamental phonics sounds, in reading and authored a marvelous collection of simple, silly, tongue twisting poems that's perfect for pre-schoolers and beginning readers. Meet AKE the snake who can bake a cake, UG the bug and his friend Glug the slug, ING the thing who brings string to the king or ID the kid who hid a squid, to name just a few. Shannon McNeill's colorful, expressive and detailed illustrations, showing these zany characters in funny and engaging situations, will have youngsters laughing out loud. With its easy, repetitive style and wonderful artwork, little ones will be "reading" right along with you, in no time. Perfect for youngsters 3-7, Ook The Book is a winner that will charm and delight everyone in the family.

I love this book! The illustrations are beautiful! The characters are so charming and each page is a jewel. The writing is fun and will have you bouncing along from page to page. One of the lovliest illustrated books I've ever seen! It's fun for all ages!
