 An annual favorite September 8, 2008

I use this book every January with my music students. We read the book, analyze the rhymes and rhythms but most of all....we enjoy the song by Carole King. If you're thinking of getting this book, you MUST, MUST, MUST get the Carole King sound track to go with it. (Also, see the video on YouTube!!!)
I've read some reviews that complained about the size of the book. Yes, the hardcover book is small. This is one time where I would go for the paperback over the hardcover. The paperback is larger.
This is also a good tool for teaching fiction and non-fiction. Each month has some silly, not-possible situation with chicken soup with rice.
Sipping once, sipping twice, sipping chicken soup with rice!
 Chicken Soup with Rice June 2, 2008
A very entertaining rhyming story--cleaver and catchy.The illustrations are imaginative and fit right in. However, the paperback is somewhat small and flimsy. I'd opt for a bigger edition.
A classic May 15, 2008
Get the movie or sound track and sing along with Carol King. This is great stuff, my whole extended family knows these songs by heart. Quality kids storytelling and music.
Love the book, miss the hard cover version November 12, 2007
I grew up reading these Sendak books, and watching the Really Rosie movie that incorporates them, and love them. My son loves them too. I do however, miss the hard cover version. The paperbacks seem kind of flimsy and it takes two hands to keep the pages open.

This is a fun way for children to learn their months of the year! We will learn all of the poems throughout the school year. they like the handmotions which I invent for each poem.
