What a fun read aloud! It requires the teacher to use vocal variances to create energy and attention of the students. Four dust bunnies, each a different color, have fun thinking of rhyming words. Yet, there's one bunny that doesn't seem to think of similar sounds to created a rhyme. He is always saying something about a broom or sweeper. This is a fun, interactive book to use in Kindergarten to help the teacher identify the student's ability to manipulate letters into similar sound patterns (rhymes) through oral class games and activities. This can help the teacher facilitate literacy lessons where they are most needed. I can’t imagine anyone not breaking down into hilarious laughter after reading this, where the dust bunnies show the fun part of rhyming, all except Bob, who just cannot seem to get it right. He does save the day in other ways, however, so all ends up happily, just as it should be. This could be a good addition for poetry, easy to understand for younger readers, but it’s also a good example of laugh-out-loud silliness. The illustrations just enhance the story. They are bright, colorful and full of action! If you think your class needs a good boost of happy, have this book ready!
