Jen the Hen
PreSchool-Grade 2 In this simple story, told in large type and boldly colored pictures, Jen the Hen extends invitations to her birthday party. Each left-hand page tells one sentence of the story. The first letter of the key word in each sentence appears on the shorter right-hand page and forms the key word in combination with the base -en , which is printed on the full-size last page of the book. There are additional cartoon-bubble comments from two caterpillars who follow Jen. This humorously illustrated rhyming story follows the format of the authors' previous tale, Pat the Cat (Putnam, 1983). Reading and rhyming treats for beginning readers as well as young listeners.
