Hurry! Hurry!



Bunting, E. (2007). Hurry! Hurry! Illus. Jeff Mack. Orlando, Florida: Harcourt, Inc.

Brief Annotation: The backyard is full of excitement as the animals welcome their newest member to the farm community!

Genre: Fantasy, Picturebook

Grade Level: PreS through Grade 1

Readers who will like this: Beginning readers who would benefit from a patterned, predictable text, children who like books with animal characters

Response/Rating (1-4): 4, The book’s use of repetitive, predictable phrases and simple storyline gives beginning readers a wonderful opportunity to practice letter-sound correspondence. The colorful farmyard characters add appeal to this charming book.

One question you would ask before a read aloud: By looking at the cover of book, where do you think the story takes place? Why?
