Review: Happy Groundhog Day!

Today I bring you the beautifully illustrated, lyrical picture book:

​
​TITLE: A GREYHOUND A GROUNDHOG
AUTHOR: Emily Jenkins
ILLUSTRATOR: Chris Appelhans
PUBLISHER: Schwartz & Wade Books/2017

OPENING LINES: 
A hound.
A round hound.
A greyhound.
A hog.
A round hog. 
A groundhog.

​A grey hound and a brown hog meet and play and chase each other into grey and brown blurs, enjoying the fun until they fall down. They whirl round and round, as do the words, which make this such a fun read-aloud. This book is full of tongue twisters, word play, and adorable watercolor illustrations of a greyhound and a groundhog. But, be warned—your little ones will ask you to read this one over and over again, so practice your tongue-twister skills. Then again, slipping up is part of the challenge of tongue twisters, and will surely get you some giggles.
