Is There Room On The Feather Bed?

Is There Room on the Feather Bed?

A spirited cumulative tale follows what happens when the rains come and, one by one, several colorful animals enter the home of a wee fat woman and her wee fat husband and pile up on their feather bed, until a skunk joins the party.From School Library JournalPreSchool-Grade 2. A catchy cumulative tale. The fun grows as an array of animals seeking shelter from a storm approaches a teeny tiny house. A wee fat woman assures them there's room for all on the feather bed until a skunk arrives on the scene. This book has the timeless ambiance of Jan Brett's The Mitten (Putnam, 1990). Children and storytellers will love its rhythm and cadence and will find themselves enchanted by its cheerful refrain. Equally impressive are Westcott's watercolor-and-ink paintings that fill every inch of space. The double-page spreads are bright and whimsical, adding just the right amount of humor to the playful story. A great choice to share with a group or to read one-on-one.?Dawn Ibey, Vancouver Public Library, CanadaCopyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.
