Here is a rhyming picture book that is a popular read-aloud in library. The children enjoy being able to predict words. I share this book early to introduce children to the way illustrations and text work together.
text and illustrations by Linnea Riley
Hush, hush, a little mouse is sound asleep inside his house.
On the stairs, the sound of feet! Mouse is up. It's time to eat!
Thus begins the story of a hungry mouse who eats his way through crackers, jam, pickles and cheese leaving a messy surprise for the unsuspecting family. The vibrant illustrations were created using cut-paper collages.
Here are Friday's Famous Firsts:
1. Once there was a boy named Nicki who wanted his new mittens made from wool as white as snow.
2. In a warm and sultry forest far, far away, there once lived a mother fruit bat and her new baby.
