Gr 1-4 -In this third installment in the series, Hoberman and Emberley introduce shared reading experiences that retell and elaborate on Mother Goose rhymes. Consisting of 14 short tales, each story is designed to be read by two voices that, at times, come together for shared lines; different colored type indicates each distinct voice. Told in verse, these stories will appeal to readers who are familiar with the original rhymes. In -Old Mother Hubbard, - for example, the woman and her dog determine that since it's cold outside, they'll call the butcher and order in some food. The humor and rhythms in -Jack, Be Nimble - are reminiscent of Dr. Seuss's "Green Eggs and Ham" (Random, 1960). The careful word choices are ideal for beginning and reluctant readers; Hoberman introduces simple contractions that easily blend into the rhythmic text. The bright and cheery artwork captures the humor; Little Jack Horner is portrayed as a raccoon sporting a shabby overcoat and fedora and Little Tommy Tucker is a bass-playing gorilla. Both the illustrations and text are set against clean white space for ease of reading. In addition to sharing in two voices, this book is also ideal for choral reading and classroom activities. An author's note provides additional suggestions." -Shawn Brommer, South Central Library System, Madison, WI" Copyright 2005 School Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
