Reviews

[Diane · Rating 4 out of 5]

Rhyming 2-word phrases describe the sights, sounds, smells and activities of summer camp. “Hot cot”, “Snake shake”, “float boat”, etc.

Illustrations are one within another: close up, medium and wide shot.

[Claudia Rodriguez · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book shows different dimensions with short rhyming words. It is a great tool to teach short and long vowels. The picture in the book combine photography and art.

I would use it as a teaching tool.

nothing to this text but the rhyming words--and it's fun nonetheless
