“Young children who have some knowledge of nursery tales will enjoy putting together the pictures in this book and finding familiar characters. Nice rhymes and a delightful ending! I also love Peek-a-Boo, by the same authors.”

Summary/Review:
This book is very easy to read and has a predictable format that would make it ideal for class reading and prediction. Not only does it use classic characters from nursery rhymes, but it also has rich illustrations that encourage children to find the next character hidden in the picture. Children will get the most enjoyment out of this book if they are already familiar with nursery rhyme characters.
Uses in Classroom:
- Read aloud with cloze and predictions
- Looking for detail in illustrations
- Discussion of rhyme”“If you have kids, are planning kids or know somebody with kids then buy them this book. Simple witty and fun. A great way to get children interested in reading. Our 18 month loves it and can already say EVERYONE.”

“When my son was a preschooler, he would return this book to the library; then, he would immediately go back to the shelf where additional copies were to check it out once more! Because I read it to him so often, both he and I memorized the text. "Each peach, pear, plum; I spy Tom Thumb. Tom Thumb in the cupboard. I spy Mother Hubbard. Mother Hubbard on the stairs. I spy three bears..." Perhaps you can tell from the part I have quoted, that the pictures in the book are just as important as is its rhyming text. My son was eventually able to quickly find each character named and hidden in the picture. I, and I would venture to say he, would highly recommend this book to parents and their preschoolers who are already familiar with most of the Mother Goose and fairy tale characters they get to find in the illustrations. Oh yes, the book ends with all the found characters sharing a picnic lunch.”
