Nine Men Chase a Hen

I teach kids w/ special needs (MR and LD). This is a great book for developing phonemic awareness and for children to see rhyming words in pring. Very few words on a pg and funny illustrations.

Fun Romp for Young Readers

My daughter is just learning to read, so she can manage only the simplest text when reading a book herself. However, she still wants a good story that will hold her interest. "Nine Men Chase a Hen" was the perfect combination of silliness and simplicty for her to both manage the book on her own and to enjoy the aburd text and illustrations.
