Greyhound, a Groundhog, A

Unlikely friends, a greyhound and a groundhog meet, play, and explore as they run and chase each other until finally, full of joy and wonder, they tire each other out. Their antics are accompanied by rhyming, tongue twister-like text that explores the sound, rhythm, and tempo of language. The compelling illustrations, humour, and language in this picture book will appeal to Pre-K to grade 1 students and would be an engaging read-aloud and a way to launch discussion about compound words, rhyming, and blending, and for students to discover word families and consonant blends.
