Pip Squeak

(2) K-3 I Can Read Book series. Illustrated by Jane Manning. Mouse Pip (Drip, Drop) cleans the house in preparation for his friend's visit. The unforced patterned rhyme creates syntactic support and emphasizes repeated internal vowel and ending consonant sounds. There's also plot, characterization, and theme, plus a small concluding surprise. While housecleaning may be a dirty business, the lively pacing and bright primary colors indicate that something jaunty is going on.
