Around the House the Fox Chased the Mouse: A Prepositional Tale

32 pp. | Gibbs Smith | August, 2006 | Trade ISBN 1-4236-0006-1 $15.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jim Bradshaw. Despite the subtitle, the grammar lesson here is so subtle that it doesn't intrude on the fun. Hunter and hunted streak past alarmed sheep and goggle-eyed horses, disturb bees and fish, and root birds from their tree, until this chase ends and another begins. Brightly colored double-page spreads humorously capture the dual perspectives of the panicked mouse and the sharp-toothed fox.
