This is a really cute pattern book. A crazy-haired little boy takes a walk through the country, seeing lots of animals along the way. Before he knows it, he's being followed by the entire list of animals--a black cat, a brown horse, a red cow, and so on. The large print, repetition, rhyme, and beautiful illustrations make this a great book for beginning readers or English language learners. Even if a student doesn't know exactly what the non-repeated words on each page are, they can look to the descriptive pictures for cues, which is still a strength. The sing-songiness of the book would also make it good for choral reading. I highly recommend this for a pattern book!… (més)
