Haha, don't try to make this one rhyme, it won't work. I kept trying with the first few sentences and realized it just wasn't going to happen. So yes, Peet deviated from his norm but the story is Peet through and through.

I used this with a kindergarten class that was studying shadows and reflections and it went fairly well. The story isn't the most exciting, but of the books I chose, this was the one that interacted best with what they were learning.

He asked so nicely...
