Lazy Bear, Crazy Bear: Loony Long Vowels

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ben Hodson. Animals, ghosts, and dudes introduce long vowel sounds with short rhyming phrases: "Cave Bear. / Wave Bear. / Lazy Bear. / Crazy Bear." Rather than introducing its section where it might be most helpful, the relevant reading tip ("Long vowels say their own names") follows the content. Busy cartoon illustrations extend the limited text and help lessen the book's purposeful intent.
