Children will love the illustrated version of this familiar rhyme. The images are brightly colored and beautifully illustrated to aid in children's understanding and recognition of basic colors and the images and text work together to create a storyline that is easy to follow along for both new readers and for those who are not yet able to read. This 9.5" x 12" lap book is the perfect size for read-alouds, partner reading, and small-group instruction, and helps to create a shared reading experience in which children are encouraged to retell the story in their own way or to create one of their own from the information they gather.
