Book of the Month: Rhyming Dust Bunnies

Rhyming Dust Bunnies by Jan Thomas is a silly story that helps children practice the important skill of rhyming.

Each page gives a word and asks what rhymes. Before turning the page to find the answer, have your child brainstorm a list of words that rhyme.

The surprise ending will have you laughing just as much as the silly nonsense words that your child may list. At this age, naming nonsense words is fine if they follow the rhyme pattern.

After they have the skill mastered, then you can talk about whether they are “real” words or not.
