I have written before about the value of rhyme and the fun that playing around with rhyming words can add to early literacy development ( you’ll find references in these posts – here, here and here).
We recently received a copy of the newly released Parrot Carrot by Jol and Kate Temple (Allen & Unwin, 2011).
It’s a lot of fun – quirky illustrations and simple rhyming text; Immy loves to ‘read‘ it to herself.
However, it is not just a book for almost-4-year-olds, I can imagine using Parrot Carrot as a wonderful tool for exploring rhyme and creative drawing with older children as well.
