I read this book aloud to my kindergartner and third grader. My youngest did not always look forward to hearing the story while my third grader thoroughly enjoyed it.
The language and word choice is descriptive utilizing a lot of figurative language.
*Highly recommend.
This is a book we will reread when my youngest is older.
We own this book.
I also purchased an abridged version illustrated by Inga Moore but wanted to read the original aloud first. Ms. Moore's illustrations are lovely (and colored!).
Grade Level Equivalent: 8.3
Warning: The word "ass" is used frequently and not to describe a donkey but to describe each other.
This is the cover from Inga Moore's version:
Krista, Glad at least one of yours enjoyed this one! The illustrated edition looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe younger one enjoyed it on and off. Toad's antics amused him. The other chapters did not hold his interest as much!
