Hey Diddle Diddle - Children's Book Review

Book Synopsis:

Hey Diddle Diddle is a whimsical journey along a riparian food web through the songs and antics of eight interconnected species. From a shiny green beetle “tappin’ his feet and singin’ a song” to a smug bobcat that feels like the “queen” of the jungle, readers will observe several colorful characters moving through three food chains in a familiar North American habitat.

My Review:

This book quite possibly has one of the catchiest rhythmic "jingles" I've ever read.  This particular format, along with the catchy words, makes it an interesting book to read.  Hey Diddle Diddle teaches children about the food web and the circle of life.  For instance, it gives an idea of what a frog will eat and what will eat it.  The "For Creative Minds" section in the back of the book is filled with educational format, expanding upon animal classifications.  It also has an animal adaptations matching game, true or false section on food chains, and information on the differences between herbivores and carnivores, predators and prey.  It's a delightful read that's sure to be enjoyable and educational.

Hey Diddle Diddle is a Fall 2011 release from Sylvan Dell Publishing.
