Overview

'This is the sort of picture book that will bear up under repeated childhood readings and may even be of use to adults.'

--The Wall Street Journal

"The B on your Thumb is clever, engaging, educational and fun. I wish I had thought of it."
--Craig Smith, author / songwriter of The Wonky Donkey The B on Your Thumb is a book of 60 hilariously illustrated rhymes and delightful ditties to boost early reading--each poem teaches a specific sound, spelling, or rule. Using rhythm and wordplay, they promote phonics awareness, thinking skills, and literacy. But most of all, this book delights young readers with the fun and silliness of the English language. This is a book where words like to play,
where letters get cross when they don't get their way.
There are sounds to make and jokes to uncover.
An owl in your bowl, for you to discover.
Meet the K on your knee, who's ready for fun,
and don't be alarmed by the B on your thumb
