Customer Reviews

What a great classroom resource!
This is a great little book, crammed full of rhyming words - extremely useful for teachers as well as children! It's bright, attractive presentation makes it easy to use and it also includes lots of original poems, rhymes and verses, dotted on appropriate pages. It's great for the classroom as it's organized in 'spelling patterns' so the children need never be stuck for a rhyme again! (It could prove useful for generating spelling lists too!!) My Year 2 class just love it!!

good for all the family
I bought this for my five year old as he is becoming aware of language. But after ten minutes the whole family was gripped and making up poetry and nonsense rhymes. The telly went off and we discovered a new game which we have played many nights since. Well worth the price.
