genre: traditional / fiction
summary: This book has a very simple text that rhymes with a great rhythm that young children love. It contains big, brightly painted pictures of a young boy walking and meeting several different animals along the way. The predictable text makes it perfect for beginning readers and for practicing color words, along with animal names.
grade level: This book is appropriate for toddlers and up to first graders.
comments: I really love reading books aloud to young children that have an upbeat tempo and seem to flow naturally. This book reminds me of the Brown Bear Brown Bear series, which is a classic read aloud in early childhood. This is a book the majority of my kindergarten children will pick up and begin to read by themselves or at least "believe" they are reading - which is a great confidence builder!
