What happens on a rainy afternoon? Why, a granny, a child, a dog, a cat and a mouse curl up on a cozy bed to snooze. What happens when a wakeful flea bites the mouse? Chaos breaks loose!
A cumulative rhyme. Very rhythmic text.
I especially appreciate how the color of the text reflects the mood of the story and also the progression of a rain storm.
Warning: My youngest son was scared of the wide-eyed cat when I read this to him when he was a toddler.
*Highly recommend. This book "needs" to be on every toddler's book shelf!
Strategy/skill: (for older readers) The author utilizes different words to describe the word "sleep". A perfect mentor text for word choice and using thesaurus.
