PreS-Gr 2-"We are Ed, Ned, Ted.and Bob. We rhyme all the time!" If children can't guess from the names, they can certainly tell from the facial expressions on these four large-nosed floppy-eared hairy blobs that Bob is the odd bunny out. When Ed (electric green and unflappably cheery) calls out, "What rhymes with bug?" Ned (purple, beige nose bigger than Ed's) yells "hug." Ted (crimson, big big yellow nose) shouts "rug." Bob, a lovely shade of turquoise but perpetually perplexed and anxious, contributes "Look out!" "'No, Bob,' scolds Ed. 'Look out!' does not rhyme with bug!" When, a few pages later, Bob's rhyme for dog is "Look out! Here comes a big scary monster with a broom!" readers' suspicions will be confirmed that Bob is more than a dust bunny with a rhyming deficiency. But Thomas doesn't simply fulfill children's expectations. True to form, she adds funny and thrilling surprises up to the absorbing end of the tale. This book will make readers laugh; it will teach them to rhyme; it will enchant them and make them think twice every time they see a vacuum cleaner.-Susan Weitz, formerly at Spencer-Van Etten School District, Spencer, NY Copyright 2009 Reed Business Information.
