In this riff on the Mother Goose tale about the old woman in the shoe, a family of 26 bunny children whose names all begin with a different letter in the alphabet are used to teach ABCs and 1, 2, 3s.
Old Mother Rabbit lives in a shoe, but unlike her famous predecessor, she knows exactly what to do with her 26 offspring. After feeding them broth and carrots, she puts them all to bed in some rather strange places, leading readers through her house and garden as well as the alphabet: The list begins with Abel who sleeps on the table and ends with Zed who slept on the shed.
Children will enjoy guessing where each rabbit sleeps. The napping places range from the fairly ordinary (chair, pillow) to the whimsical (trike, sink, trellis, bowl). This cozy bedtime book has the comforting familiarity of a lullaby combined with the fundamental concepts toddlers adore.
I love this book... Here in Florida one of the tasks Kindergarten children should be able to do before going on to 1st grade is rhyming. And one of the easiest ways to learn is to start rhyming with the child's own name. I also like that this mother did know what do to do with her children, and seems much happier than the Old Lady in the Shoe ever was!
