More Snacks!: A Thanksgiving Play (Ready-To-Read Ant Hill Kids - Level Pre1) [Paperback]

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-K–Bug-eyed pilgrim ants board a ship to a new land. After a stormy ride, they arrive and give thanks. Superimposed on the full-page, color illustrations are short rhyming sentences in dialogue, such as 'Peek out,' said Scout. 'Oh no!' said Joe. This sentence structure gets old quickly, and much inferring is required to understand the Thanksgiving theme behind the limited text. Most kids will soon get bored with this book. Bethany Roberts's Thanksgiving Mice! (Clarion, 2001) has a better story.–Sandra Welzenbach, Villarreal Elementary School, San Antonio, TX

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Thanksgiving story for pre-K or K, November 4, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: More Snacks!: A Thanksgiving Play (Ready-To-Read Ant Hill Kids - Level Pre1) (Paperback)

For kids in the 3-5 age range who are learning to read. The sentences are very, very simple and are written in speech that rhymes. ("Big ship," said Chip.) No contractions, which is great. Helps with learning sentence structure, and gives a basic story of the trip on the Mayflower. The ants are enticed to board the Mayflower when they spy yummy snacks aboard. They wind up traveling to America where they make new friends and have a feast. A nice cast of characters and a fun read. (review by a homeschooling mom)
