This is a book you might hate me for suggesting.Each new page makes a rhyming leap that seems to make no sense. Halfway through my first reading I thought, this is weird.
"A monkey among us...a monkey among a fungus".
What? A monkey among a fungus? Is this a stretch to increase vocabulary? I continued on, meeting a hippo and a giraffe and a monster. Soon, I began to see a storyline develop among the seemingly inane rhymes and more than that, I was laughing!
Horowitz created a clever little story using Lewis Carroll-like nonsense rhymes. My 3 yr-old loved this one and would ask for it to be read again, even before I'd finished the last words.
