The Bicklebys' Birdbath

the Bicklebys' Mailman Has Fallen Right Into The Bicklebys' Birdbath.

He Did Not Trip On The Sidewalk. He Was Not Chased By A Dog. He Did Not Accidentally Bump Into It While Reading One Of The Bicklebys' Magazines....

The Mailman Fell Into The Birdbath All Because Of A Small Little Leak In A Garden Hose. Yes, A Garden Hose. A Moose, A Goose, A Flock Of Crows, A Bee, A Lawnmower, And Some Other Things Were Also Involved....

In The Tradition Of this Is The House That Jack Built, This Rhythmic Read-aloud Tells A Topsy-turvy Story Of Cause And Effect -- And It's Sure To Cause A Few Giggles Along The Way.

pres-k—in Addition To Blue Birds, Yellow Birds, And Orange Birds, There's A Mailman In The Bicklebys' Birdbath. He Wouldn't Be There If The Girl With The Garden Hose Hadn't Sprayed Some Nest-building Crows, And, In The Tradition Of This Is The House That Jack Built, One Incident Snowballs Into Another And, In This Case, Results In A Soaked Mailman. Although The Chain Of Events Causes Havoc In The Bicklebys' Yard, Everyone From The Moose To The Goose To The Lawn-mowing Boy Pitches In To Restore Order. Set In The Summer, In A Yard Of Green Grass And Blooming Flowers, This Enjoyable Read-aloud Contains Plenty Of Rhyme, Lots Of Brightly Colored Illustrations (rendered In Acrylics), And One Very Cute White Goose With Great Balance.—tanya Boudreau, Cold Lake Public Library, Ab, Canada
