The illustrations in this book are detailed and vibrant, they almost jump off the page. The text is simple and the rhyming is wonderful. The beasts are having a feast and every animal is bringing something. Bears bring pears and parrots bring carrots....mice bring rice and mosquitos bring burritos. This book is a very engaging read aloud...kids loved the pictures and completing the rhymes (not always successfully) For instance when the feast is over everybody claps - the armadillos bring some pi...more

This was enjoyable and I liked the pictures however I am not sure that the pictures serve the book well. They are so vibrant and complex and so a bit difficult to identify unless one is already familiar with the animals and foods involved in the story. Yet this is essentially an easy reader where the pictures are meant to give clues to what's written. As a read aloud it works well.
This is a great story to use with a lesson on rhyming. The animals are having a feast and all bringing some food. Each animal brings a food that rhymes with their name. It's cute and the students love guessing what the animals are bringing!
All manner of animals bring something to feast on. The feast gets a bit out of hand and it seems a food fight begins. But then everyone has had enough and armadillos bring pillows so everyone can nap.
It's not often that i rate a book this low. I just didn't see the point. It was words, repeated. Illustrations weren't appealing. Reading this aloud was challenging.

This is a great book for teaching rhyming words, digraphs, as well as vowel digraphs. This book is also good for teaching about different animals.
love the rhyming!
