Here comes the big, mean dust bunny!                                 by Jan Thomas

# data[].attributes.body
This book is about four different colored dust bunnies and the big, mean dust bunny who comes along.  All they do is rhyme so they take turns rhyming words.  The big, mean dust bunny scares all the other dust bunnies because he is so much bigger than them.  The interesting thing about this book is there is only dialogue throughout this book.  The entire book consists of the four small dust bunnies and the big dust bunny talking with one another.  The text is large and at time is red in color which shows expression to that word.  At the end the big, mean dust bunny smiles and becomes friends with the other dust bunnies.  The illustrations are suitable for young readers and it is an easy and entertaining read.

This book tells the life of a fireman. A little boy loves fire engines and imagines himself as a fireman. He dresses in the special gear, drives his own truck, puts out fires, when the alarm sounds he goes to the fire to help the other firemen and his brother can sit in the fire truck with him. This is a book where the child can put themselves in this book and pretend they are a fireman too. The pictures are colorful yet simple but assist in understanding the text. For my child for the practicum I thought he would really enjoy this book since it is about a fire truck and firemen and he could envision himself as the little boy in the book.

The characters in this book are all animals.  Cat has made a mess and does not want to clean it up when Dog tells Cat to.  Cat would rather move the mess to where other animals are and the other animals do not want the mess near them so they push it back.  Cat then pushes the mess underwater.  After much convincing, Cat cleans up the mess and all the animals have a party in the end.  The illustrations are vibrant and help children understand the text better because they can see the mess.  It is comical and interactive for children.  The illustrations lead into the next page so when you turn the page the illustration continues.  This book teaches children to clean up their mess before it gets out of control.

This book is about different types of trucks, the various noises they make and places trucks can go.  The child I chose for my practicum has an interest in trucks so I thought this book would be perfect for him or any other child that enjoys trucks.  The illustrations are vibrant and include people as well as animals. Also, the illustrations change and may be horizontal on one page and then on the other page you have to hold the book vertically.
Throughout this book there are onomatopoeia's of the noises from the trucks and a child could think of their own life if they have ever seen one of the trucks from the book when they were in the car.
