To Market, To Market Book

"To Market, To Market," is a brilliantly illustrated book that captures children's attention immediately. The sing-song, rhyming pattern makes this story enjoyable to read and entertaining to listen to.

The story is about an old lady going to the market to buy different animals. As a reader, we are not exactly sure what she is going to do with all of these animals. It is inferred that she may possibly eat them, but the poor old lady can't keep all of these animals under control under her roof. Then the old lady goes back to the market with all of the animals by her side and she shops for a whole mess of vegetables and decides to make hot soup for lunch.

I can not emphasize enough how wonderful the illustrations are in the picture book. Young children, kindergarten or first graders, will be completed entranced and entertained studying the pictures and finding the animals in the most peculiar places. They will be giggling and rhyming all at the same time.
