This hardcover version of a familiar nursery rhyme is one of several being released by Crabtree as part of its “Nursery Rhymes” series. While everyone knows Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, the second rhyme in the book is an original created by author Wes Magee. It follows the same rhyme and pattern as Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, but it is about a spaceship zooming through the skies.
Each of the poems is nicely arranged on the pages of the book, with just two lines of text per page in a large font. Following the two line pages, the entire rhyme is written on the final page of each section, with the question: “Can you find the rhyming words?” After the second rhyme, there is a puzzle: “How many spaceships can you find?” An interesting addition to the book are the two pages featuring quotes and biographical information about the author and illustrator. Highly Recommended. Claire Perrin is an elementary teacher in Toronto, ON.
