This book about a mouse telloing a bird what you could find in a house. This is another book that Dr. Seuss does a great job at using ryh,ing words. This book would be a great read for beginning readers who are focusing on rhyming words.

This is a very cute rhyming word book. I would use it in a kindergarten or first grade class. It discusses the several things you would find in a people house. Children can relate to these things because most things discussed in the book are found in all of our houses, such as bananas, roller skates, bottles, brooms, scissors, needles, pillows, beds..etc. This is a very fun book to read!

This one is a primer for beginning readers: AR 1

The story is about a mouse and a bird who enter a house to take a look around. The artwork is the standard cute and colorful Suessian stuff. The print is VERY large, and it provides good, non-threatening practice for beginning readers. However, unlike other Dr. Seuss books, this one is not as interesting as a read-aloud, and I don't think you'll find your children pouring through it the way they will "Cat in the Hat" or "The Butter Battle Book".

Here's some text so you can see what it's like.

"Come inside, Mr. Bird," said the mouse.
"I'll show you what there is in a People House..."

"Bananas, bathtub, bottles, brooms...
That's what you find in people's rooms".

As you can see most of the text is a list of household items and as a consequence I'm only giving this book 3-Stars. While it is a good solid book, it's not one that I would recommend people buy.
