Around the House the Fox Chased the Mouse: Adventures in Prepositions (Language Adventures Book)
PreSchool-Grade 2–With simple text and hilarious illustrations, this story delivers an easy-to-digest language lesson. The barnyard is in a flurry as a fox races around, under, and off to catch a mouse. Grandma is sent sailing, the chickens all go cross-eyed, and the horses turn snaggle-toothed with surprise. What does Fox do when he finally catches up with the frenzied Mouse? Tag! Youre it! Walton excels at making grammar accessible, and this title is a shining example. Each of Bradshaws bright, oversize illustrations clearly supports the accompanying text. Children will laugh out loud at the animals exaggerated postures and facial expressions. Those seeking a more detailed explanation of prepositions may prefer Brian P. ClearysUnder, over, by the Clover: What Is a Preposition?(Carolrhoda, 2002) or Ruth HellersBehind the Mask: A Book about Prepositions(Grosset & Dunlap, 1995). However, Waltons picture book is just plain fun. A welcome addition to storytime and language-arts repertoires.–Jayne Damron, Farmington Community Library, MICopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
