Synopsis: 
On each page, we meet a new animal who nudges us onward to discover which creature will show up next: "Blue Horse, Blue Horse, What do you see? I see a green frog looking at me." This pattern is repeated over and over, until the pre-reader can chime in with the reader, easily predicting the next rhyme.

*Note: 	These craft ideas are just suggestions.  
You can use them, but you don't have to use them.  
You can expand upon them, or add your own twist.  
Remember, though,  that the focus of your time should 
not be on the development and execution of a craft;  
the focus should be on the read-aloud and the 
enjoyment of the book!
