It's a rhyming book with colorful fun pictures. At the end of the story, the author asks the child one question. I gave the book four stars because it may be hard for some children to figure out the answer to the question the author asks at the end of the story, it might be over thier heads. But you would be the best judge for your child so to help you decide I wrote out the story below.Miss Milly is taking a trip. Oh my! She packs silly things. Can you guess why? She packs a snowman, round and fat. She packs a baseball, but not a bat. She packs a rowboat, but not a canoe. And then she packs a sailboat, too. She packs some goldfish-eight, nine, ten. When they jump out...she packs them again. She packs a hotdog, but not the bun. She packs two cupcakes and then eats one.She packs shoelaces, but not her shoes. She packs a newspaper. It has no news.She packs the doormat from the floor. She packs the doorknob, but not the door. She packs a notebook, but not a pen. And do you know what she does then? She finds a beehive in a tree and packs that, too. Oh my! Oh me! She packs some popcorn from the shelf. Ane when she is done, she packs herself! Silly Miss Milly in her frilly hat!(So the question she asks the reader is) "Can you tell why she packs like that?" Then you turn the page and there is a picture of Miss Milly saying, "I only packed things that are compound words."
I must say I laughed out loud when I finished this book. Silly Milly is definitely that. She packs so many things while in her frilly hat. She packs and packs and the kids watch astonished, at all the things she crams in her bag, until finally she jumps in and packs herself. But to find out why she packs all the wonderful, weird and wacky things that she does, you will need to read this book. Oh my, oh me Silly Milly!
It was the perfect book for my first grader. It teaches children the dynamics of compounds words. I would recommend it to any parent who has a child in first grade.
A hit with my grand baby, she really gets a kick out of how silly "Silly Milly" can be and so do I, it's a lovely silly.
I am a teacher. This is a super cute way to introduce compound words to my students. Love the fun of the book!
