Chimps Don't Wear Glasses by Laura Numeroff

This book talks about different animals and the things that they don't do (i.e. the title of the book). This is a great book for beginner readers because it is short and it rhymes. And if the reader is stuck on the word, they can just look at the picture and guess.

This book is funny and sparks imagination. It's fun to picture horses hang gliding or llamas shopping. The illustrations really bring the text to life. They are very detailed and filled with humor. The book ends by asking the reader what they see so it gives kids the chance to think of silly things that they would never see animals doing. If you were having your students write a book, this would be a good model for them. You can read the book and then they would have to write their own story about animals. And the illustrations that they would draw would go right along with the text. This is a funny book and I would recommend it for ages 2-8.
