Knock Knock

Knock Knock by Tad Hills

This book was the cutest book I read during this poetry section. It was a collection of knock, knock jokes intended for what I would believe are little ones, pre-k, and kindergarten students. This book is not a recipient of any awards but is still fun to read to your little ones!

My favorite knock-knock joke from the book goes:

Knock Knock

Who's there?

Liz.

Liz who?

Liz-en to me sing!

This one was my favorite because as silly as it is, I could see myself using this. I am always humming or singing around my house, and often times I'm told to hush, haha. But with this cute knock-knock joke maybe someone will liz-en to me!

My evaluation of this book is that it's perfect for little ones. Like ages 2-5. Each "knock-knock" joke is rhyming and not every word that's used is real.  I like this book because it's a good one to use when teaching word knowledge to your kindergarteners. You could show them a word like "book" and have them replace the first letter to create words that rhyme, "hook", "shook", "sook", "wook". It's important to explain that even words that aren't real can be played with when discovering rhyming words.
