Mother Goose Numbers On The Loose

Dillon, L., & Dillon, D. (2007). Mother Goose: Numbers on the loose. Orlando: Harcourt.
Summary: This book is about "numbers on the loose."  Every page involved mischievous numbers counting, and rhyming.  Familiar and lesser-known rhymes from the famous Mother Goose help tell the story and help students learn how to count. 
 
Reflection: In this poetry book about numbers children can easily recognize the rhyme on each page of this book.  I also noticed on some pages the words have the same vowel sound, which is called assonance.  I also noticed the page layout on each page had a certain typeface. The first word on each page was in all caps and bold.  Each number was also in bold and in a larger font.  I'm excited to read this book to my students.  They will enjoy the rhymes and find this book funny!  Some will be able to complete the famous Mother Goose poems.
Questions:
What are the rhyming words?
Can you finish these statements?  "1, 2, Buckle my...., 3, 4, ..... 5, 6, pick up...."


Typeface (WASH) and Rhyme:(dishes, wishes, kisses)
                                                                                                       
Assonance a-e: (dame, lane)
