This is a great book by Rick Walton. Mr. Walton was a teacher and has several wonderful books that teaches concepts. I use this book every year to teach compound words. I read it twice. The second time the students supply the second half of the compound words. I read it with long pauses so they can add in unison the compound word. After I read the story I have my students create a compound animal. They draw and write the animal and it's characteristics. EX: a horseturtle. He eats horseflies and slowly gallops. He has a horse head, legs and tale but has a shell as a body.
It's a great book to teach compound words! Be sure to check out all the other books Rick Walton has written!
