This is a delightful book to read to a young child or for a child to read alone. If you've ever known a child who loves to paint and be creative, you will find this especially enjoyable. I bought it to read with my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter and it brought gales of laughter.

After reading a borrowed copy of this to my students, their reaction was a catalyst for my buying this and all other Karen Beaumont books I could find. I teach Kindergarten through Fifth grade students with special needs ranging from minimal academic support to maximum lifeskills instruction. Each and every student enjoys and participates in the oral reading of this wonderful book. The rhyme and rhythm of the story enables students to use phonemic awareness skills to complete the anticipated sentence endings. A book like this can literally make a child fall in love with literature!
This book was a very good buy for my purpose. As a college instructor teaching students who are becoming teachers, I can use this resource to build a large professional library at an inexpensive price. I teach off campus and carry a lot of books with me to get students excited about teaching. This book is very funny and great addition to my collection and was in good condition. My students loved it!
I originally checked this book out at the library. My daughter started "singing" the rhythmic words throughout the day and she asked me to read it to her all the time. As an adult, it is fun to read as you can be super-expressive, read it loud or whisper, talk about the pictures, and basically experience it in different ways with your child. The pictures are great, too. Finally, this book is much cheaper to buy on ebay than in the stores. My advice is to test books by checking them out at the library, then buy your favorites on ebay!
Fun little book! the little ones really like it.

I love how the reader can predict the rhyme to come. It's also good for reading as the rhyming words are bolded. The end is great fun for both adults and kids alike. A book that's as fun for me to read as it is for my daughter to listen to. The illustrations are clever, compelling, and vibrant.
I love this author but the illustrations are really weird. It seems to captivate my toddler for the most part but if the illustrations were more realistic looking, i think he'd be able to understand it a little better.. some of the illustrations are just downright scary looking...
This is an extremely fun book. It helps teach kids rhyming and rhythm. This is definitely one of my all time favorite books. Karen Beaumont is a very creative author who knows how to entertain children.
This Book is a very cute story that children will love. They can read it right along with you and once they hear it they will want to read it over and over again. The preschool children that i read it to absolutly love it and get into the book and help reading it now. It has gotten so worn out that i had to buy two more coppies. I hope you will enjoy it as much as they did.
Beautiful illustrations, funny rhyming story!
