I could use this book as a read aloud with kindergarteners to teach counting and to begin simple addition. Reading the book aloud allows the teacher to use guided discussion questions and prompts to promote whole class learning. This book could also be used in first grade as a group book. The group could use the book to identify rhyming words and to come up with more words that also rhyme with the ones found.

Maybe we will appreciate this book amore when Henry gets a bit older. Currently it's not holding anyone's interest. ( )
