Oh, yes I do! We are gearing up for our big farm unit next week and Mrs. Wishy Washy is at the top of our reading list! I love that the text is simple and fun, and the children LOVE to read it over and over again!
Hameray Publishing recently sent me two of their brand new emergent readers in a NEW Wishy Washy series! SO EXCITED. (They have not compensated me in any way for my opinions – just the awesome books for me to take a peek at and give my honest opinions!)
Listen to Joy Cowley herself talk about it…
Oh my! I think I’ll have to read Mrs. Wishy Washy with a British accent from now on! LOVE! Isn’t she the cutest!!??
Back to the books…
The illustrations are GORGEOUS and the text is in a great easy to read font! The books are available in a big book format and as small readers for independent use. I MUST get my hands on some of the big books – the kids LOVE reading this as a whole group!
and just LOOK at these adorable finger puppets!! How great are these for retelling?!

ReplyDeleteI agree Carrie! She is so fun, and the children love her so much! I think I have to order a classroom set!!
ReplyDeleteI love Mrs. Wishy washy and have two of the other books besides the original. I love the fun stories and so do my kids- She is a great story to include in the spring or farm theme. I tried to get to their links but was not successful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the Link to Joy Cowley- she is charming.
