Follow the Monsters!

December 1, 1985
PreS-Gr 3-Follow the Monsters! has simple vocabulary, large print, colorful monster illustrations and a snappy text which rhymes. Beginning readers can follow the Muppet monsters on their way to Sesame Street up in the air and back on the ground, "out of the country and into the town." Dinosaur Days, for more advanced independent readers, is a history of dinosaurs. Smaller print, expanded vocabulary and informative details characterize this title. Pronunciations are included throughout the text. Colorful illustrations of dinosaurs accompany the text. A Dozen Dogs is a read-and-count story featuring dogs of varying size, shape and color who weave a story of canine adventure at the beach. Each colorfully illustrated page, featuring cartoon-style artwork, is brimming with dogs just crying to be counted. Preschoolers will have ample opportunity to test their counting skills on dogs swimming, fishing and frolicking on the pages of this book.
