With it's simple rhymes, Ook the Book, is great for building fundamental early reading and rhyming skills. The wonderful illustrations by Shannon McNeill really brings life and meaning to these silly rhymes giving readers of all ages something to giggle about.

We were excited to recognize the author as a favorite from her regular series in High Five magazine! The rhymes were extremely basic, making this a great teaching tool for my pre-reader! We had fun looking at and hearing letter sounds and word building.

A book of rhymes, can help the children learn to make rymes.
