Authors are awesome. I mean really. The ability to put words together in a beautiful or interesting or funny way? Pretty cool. Add rhyming (that WORKS) and you've got an extra poetic win.
"Monday! 'Doze it day!
Dig it, dump, dispose it day.
Roll, mash, crunch, crash.
Smooth the highs and lows it day."
Busy Builders, Busy Week is a fun little ditty.
It's structured through the week as the animals build ... hmmm. Do I tell? Maybe not.
Only that it's a place that would delight any kiddo. I wouldn't mind visiting! They start on Sunday and work throughout the week to finish with a grand Saturday celebration. The illustrations are bright and colorful and the big eyes on the animals are my favorite.
Read it to some visiting nephews and niece and they approved! I should have gotten a picture. ;)
Next up will be my students!
