Who would think one can write sentences with all of the words starting with the same letters? Tongue twisters glaoure in "Creepy Crawly Critters!" Rhyming and alliterations all make up this book. It is fun to read because it tells one all about what could happen on Halloween. The illustrations match well with the story as well because the pictures tell just as much as the alliterations do. This is a fun read that could teach children that there are more to words than subjects and nouns.
I liked that the author's first name was Nola.
This was an adorable story about a little girl who is excited about everything she can do and she is telling it all to her baby brother. The story was fast-paced and a delight to read. The rhymes were cute and the illustrations paired very nicely with the story and provided a positive, fun-loving atmosphere. The story concludes with the little girl getting into bed and she says that she can't wait to teach all of these things to her little show more brother when he gets older. show less
“Christmas in the Manger” by Nola Buck and Felicia Bond uses an easy rhyming scheme to keep children’s attention. It also includes bold crisp illustrations that clearly focus on the topic of each two page set. Each turn of the page includes a verse about a nativity character, finishing with the baby Jesus. This one veers on the younger side and is perfect for babies and toddlers but maxes out the interest level at about 3 years old.
How many times can you rhyme the word "cats" with the word "cats"? A whole book worth of times, if you're three!
