Reviews

Alissa loved the puppy that was in almost every picture.

I haven't read this book. After reading the book review, I would like to use this book to help create mental images by using their five senses. It sounds like a great book for thinking aloud to create mental images and having the students become aware of their five senses to help build reading/listening comprehension.

written like a prose poem with nice illustrations
