If you were a fuzzy caterpillar crawling through the tall, tall grass on a sunny afternoon, what would you see?

This book is about animals seen in nature. Many of the words used are rhyming words and most of the words are onomatopoeias. While there are not many words on each page, the illustrations are larger than life. The pictures use bright colors and over exaggerated images to get the effect of the small animals in the tall grass. This book is great for learning rhyming words and new words in general. Many of the words are similes for the actions and sounds the animals make and do. ( )

In this book it talks about the many different bugs and animals you might find hiding in the tall grass. it encourages children to take a closer look at things when they are exploring outside.

This is a classroom classic for a good reason. In part, because the illustrations work better at a bit of a distance, and not quite so well as a lap-sit choice. But it is indeed just as imaginative and rich at this reading as when I read it for teacher-college. ( )

A beautifully illustrated depiction of a fuzzy caterpillar's sights as it crawls through the tall, tall grass.

This book is great for ages 2-5. It explores all the different insects, bugs and animals in the tall grass. It tells the names of the different creatures and how they move. I feel this books provides a lot of new vocabulary for the children.

24 months - what seems like a very simple book but there is a lot to love. We are starting to sound out words and recognize rhyming words. This book is perfect with bold simple illustrations, large text and short rhyming words. A good early-reading book! ( )

"In the Tall, Tall Grass" is a story that tells the reader about creatures that live in the grass around us. I really liked reading this book. One reason I enjoyed his book is because it rhymed on each page. For example on the first page the book says "crunch, munch, caterpillars lunch." And the next page says "dart, dip, hummingbirds sip." These rhymes made the book really fun and easy to read. A second reason I liked this book is because as I was reading the book I noticed that there was a caterpillar on each page so it was like the caterpillar was walking through the grass. I think this unified the book. Another reason I liked this book is because the illustrations really portrayed the words on the page. For example on one of the pages the book says, "crack, snap, wings flap" and there is an illustration of a bird flying. My last reason for liking this book is the descriptive words used in the text allows the reader to visualize the sounds in their head. For example when the text says, "slip, slide, snakes glide" I can really visualize the snakes slipping and sliding through the grass.
The main idea of this book was to tell readers about the creatures that lurk in the tall grass. It could be beneficial for learning about animals and where they live for various readers. ( )

This is a simple book about animals that live in grass. I would read it to preschoolers. It is good because it introduces different animal names. ( )

This book takes children on an adventure through the grass. This book introduces moles, bees, birds and so much more. This book is adorned with illustration and rhyme. This book is great for giving children information on living things in the grass and the sounds they make or what they like to eat.
