Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2. A favorite school-yard rhyme with a whimsical look. Cravath's illustrations are bright and cheerful, with plenty of details that supplement the text. The last page lists, alphabetically, other objects to discover. Children (or storytellers) can even exchange these words for those in the text, extending and altering the rhyme schemes ad infinitum. Jane Bayer's A My Name Is Alice (Dial, 1984) features animal characters illustrated by Steven Kellogg; here, Cravath has chosen a multicultural theme with both animals and humans that really enhance the text. Bayer's title is more of a teaching experience since each page identifies two characters in the pictures with their animal names, for example, "Henry is a HAMSTER." Since children love nonsense rhymes, they will enjoy Lyne's book, just as they have Bayer's for the last 13 years.?Susan Garland, Maynard Public Library, MA

This review is from: A, My Name is Alex (Paperback)
I shared this with my kindergarteners to much excitement. They were familiar with the jump-rope rhyme. It is an excellent jumping-off point for beginning sound discussions. Also the silliness keeps the kids laughing and later encourages them to think of their own ideas! My only down-grade would just be in case it is too silly for some and a bit far-reaching in some places for kids to get the humor. Still an enjoyable and pedagogically sound read!
