My Little Sister Hugged an Ape by Bill Grossman, Illustrated by Kevin Hawkes
My Little Sister Hugged an Ape is by the creators of the hilarious (and often disgusting) counting book, My Little Sister Ate One Hare. This time Grossman and Hawkes have created an ABC book that will appeal to young children and early elementary students also. The sister is back and she is on a hugging spree, hugging a wide range of animals from apes to zebras.
Lots of silly things happen as the sister hugs each of the animals, some funny, and once again many disgusting. Once again the story is told in an easy to follow rhyming pattern. My only complaint about the book, is that it might be a little long for the youngest of readers. But once again a big thumbs up for the work of Grossman and Hawkes.
Keywords: Alphabet, Sisters, Animals, Humor, Rhyme
Ages: 3 to 8
Lesson Plan Ideas: As a class create an ABC poster of animals. Discuss some of the animals from the story that may not be familiar to the reader such as yaks, ferrets, and umbrella birds.
