I Spy on the Farm by Edward Gibbs*

What a clever book!!
Each new page starts with, "I spy with my little eye . ." and then it mentions the color and the first letter of the animal.  For an additional clue, it has the animal's sound in a speech bubble.  A peep hole has part of the animal's fur/feathers and another peep holes has its eye.  On the bottom of each spread is place where the animal likes to reside-for the pig there is lots of mud pictured.
Strategies: background knowledge, predicting
Skills: letter sounds/identification, colors
The book itself is on the bigger side with a sturdy cover and thicker pages.  Smart thinking since it is one that kids will want to revisit!
