Read - A - Rebus

This is a great book for bedtime or to take on the road for Dr.s visits and downtime for children primarily under 8. Easy to read in a few minutes or if your kids are getting the swing of the easy rebus style of the book-they'll want to read it again and again. Colorful water color pictures let you or your child read the pictures into the worded sentences. Mostly in rhyme and a little silly, you'll find yourselves giggling at the thought of "Kangaroos paddling canoes" or "Giraffe sailing in rafts". Our second copy, now with precious pages missing, has taught our children the rythym and cadence of rhyme and helps them anticipate word connections. "Mother bear said, this time don't forget to comb your hair" with the comb illustrated by a drawing of a pretty yellow comb.The next time mother bear had to remind little bear to comb his hair. The word comb was written out-but a picture instead of a little bears brown hair was pictured for the reader to use as the rebus. What a confidence builder this lovely book is. A real find for readers with children who love word play and rhyme-It will keep both the reader and the read-ee amused for many fun filled hours-
