The Jacket I Wear in the Snow - Shirley Neitzel

A delightful parody of The House that Jack Built, Neitzel's cumulative rhyme describes every stitch of clothing the young narrator wears in the snow. The rollicking illustrations of Parker turn the story into a fun-filled rebus that will have young listeners raucously participating. A great read-aloud book. Full-color illustrations. n nRhyme follows rhyme as layer after layer of winter clothing (bunchy and hot, wrinkled a lot, stiff in the knee, and too big for me!) is first put on and then taken off to the relief of the child bundled inside. Clever rebuses and jaunty illustrations make The Jacket I Wear in the Snow especially fun for prereaders and new readers.n
