Eek! I Hear a Squeak and the Scurrying of Little Feet, Book/CD [Hardcover]

Lavelle Carlson (Author), Jenny Loehr (Illustrator)

Book Description

This book, written by a speech-language pathologist, is a delightfully humorous book that children will beg to have read to them night after night. It is a great book for teaching early literacy because it contains many of the components recommended by early literacy specialists; i.e. dialogue set in bubbles for print awareness, rhyming, colorful pictures, repetition and predictability, counting, and interactive dialogue for language development. This book comes with an interactive CD-ROM that has the words read as they are highlighted. There are many visual surprises on the CD-ROM that delight the children.

This review is from: Eek! I Hear a Squeak and the Scurrying of Little Feet, Book/CD (Hardcover)

I really wanted to like this book, but sadly ended up returning it. The story was rather bare bones & disconnected. The illustrations were likewise bland and unengaging. Just not at all what I was expecting. I guess I was anticipating something more along the lines of "Tumble Bumble", with the addition of an interactive CD. This title may be appropriate for a specific target audience... but wasn't appropriate for the child I was shopping for.
