Each Peach

Pear Plum

 

By Janet and Allen Ahlberg

 

Each Peach Pear Plum

I spy Tom Thumb…

 

Tom Thumb in the cupboard

I spy Mother Hubbard…

 

Mother Hubbard down the cellar

I spy Cinderella…

 

Cinderella on the stairs

I spy the Three Bears….

 

Three Bears out hunting

I spy Baby Bunting…

 

Baby Bunting fast asleep

I spy Bo –Peep...

 

Bo-Peep up the hill

I spy Jack and Jill..

 

Jack and Jill in the ditch

I spy the wicked witch…

 

Wicked witch over the wood

I spy Robin Hood…

 

Robin Hood in his den

I spy the Bears again…

 

Three Bears still hunting

They spy Baby bunting…

 

Baby bunting safe and dry

I spy Plum Pie…

 

Plum Pie in the sun

I spy. . .

 . . .EVERYONE !

 

 Each Peach Pear Plum,  New York: Viking , 1978

 

Introduction

All children love to read and look at I Spy books. You can open the book and see how many characters are hidden in the story. The book has nursery rhyme as well storybook characters in it.

 The opening lines of the book are sure to  catch the attention of the children, especially those familiar with I spy books.

In this book

With your little eye

Take a look and play “I spy

 

 

Extension

Use as an audience participation. Do a round robin where one group starts and as soon as they finish the next group takes over. The nice thing about this book is the last word on the page starts the next sentence. Read the first line of the next page and see if the children can guess the next sentence by looking at the pictures. you can also have the children pick out all the rhymning words(this is a good activity for younger children).
