Not the best, but still good

I like the way this book offers extension activities and suggestions for use of the poems. I like that the target phonics skill is not in bold font or so blatant as to beat the child over the head & give them the "answer". It allows the child to apply their knowledge of the taught skill by looking carefully at the text.
