Hi everyone, it’s me Finley! Do you like to have fun with rhyme? I sure do. It’s easy. A good way to start is to take a poem you already know and change the words. I posted an example below. I’d sure love to see some of your rhymes and poems. Rhyming is fun. I hope you think so too.
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Frog,
You Are Lost In The Fog.
You Need To Glow,
Shine Your Light.
Make It Shine,
With All Your Might.
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Frog,
You Found Your Way Out Of The Fog.
Now you try rhyming!
I believe all dogs have a little bit of wolf in them, or at least they think they do (my little lhasa apso included). Wiener Wolf by Jeff Crosby (2011, Disney Hyperion Books) is about a dachshund who longs for some excitement, so he leaves the comforts of home, sheds his sweater, and joins a wolf pack. He has the best time until he discovers that wolves must catch their own dinner. That’s a bit too wild for him. He realizes that he belongs at home with Granny. And Granny realizes that all her little dog needs is friends. This book is filled with beautiful, realistic illustrations, humor, and drama. I especially like the scenes with the wolves, though the youngest readers may find them a tad scary. Overall, a very enjoyable picture book.
