Appropriate Grade Levels: PreK-K
A cat was playing a fiddle during a picnic when a cow did something silly! A dog thought it was very funny and laughed! The dish and spoon from the picnic ran away!
It is a nice short length f0r these grade levels. The students would probably find it silly and funny. The illustrations are nice!
You could use this book during a transition. You could also use it for a basic introduction to rhyming.

Summary: In Hey Diddle Diddle, the classic nursery rhyme is illustrated beautifully by Moira Kemp. The story begins as a picnic between the cat, dog, and moon. As the cat plays his fiddle, the cow jumps over the moon and the little dog laughs.
Review: I enjoyed this version of Hey Diddle Diddle. I liked that each line had its own page and the words were large and easy to read. The illustrations are beautifully done and very detailed so its easy for the pictures to tell the story.
In Class Uses: Read Aloud; To teach rhyming words; sight words
