I LOVE this book and so does Monkey! It is absolutely adorable! We have read it several times in a row at Monkey's request.
The pictures are very bright and colorful and hold both Monkey and Goose's attention throughout the story. It's an easy read and it is easy to add in different voices for the two characters to make it more interesting to the boys without much difficulty on my part.
But what I love the most is that it teaches that reading is FUN! That you can go anywhere in a book and experience different things through your imagination just by learning how to read! What more could a homeschool mom ask for! It explains that each letter has a different sound and that those sounds make up words. It also has Rocket spell out words so I'm able to say the letters to the word spelled out and then say the words. This is will be helpful in teaching Monkey that the letters in words actually mean something.
Something fun: When ever we reach the page where the little yellow bird hangs up her alphabet banner Monkey asks if he can sing the ABC song. It is just so cute! I'm so happy that I found this book and I think I will be looking into getting some of Tad Hills others publishing's since I love this one so much!
This book review was done personally from me and how I feel about the book. I did not receive anything for this post.
