Billy And Milly, Short And Silly! (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
Billy and Milly, Short and Silly! / written by Eve Feldman; illustrated by Tuesday Mourning (2009) -- SUMMARY: Relates the adventures of Billy and Milly in very brief, rhyming text and illustrations. For example: Illustrations show a boy sitting on the dock fishing. There is a rock below the dock that turns into an crocodile. The three word rhyme: Dock, Rock, Shock, Croc! -- COMMENTS: A very unique book which uses three to four rhyming words to create a short story. CURRICULUM: Use to discuss the difference between nouns and verbs. Encourage readers to create their own short stories using the same format. NOTE: May be a little frustrating for beginning readers if not familiar with words linked to geographical locations. For example the word "stoops", in the South we do not have stoops, so the young reader may have trouble figuring the word from the picture. What a wonderful book for young children and those learning rhyming words. Told only in rhyming words, this book tells the adventures of Billy and Milly. With one word per page, the reader has to use the colorful illustrations to piece together the story. Young kids will have fun guessing the next rhyming word to complete the story. I used this book with my kindergarten kids in the library, and they loved guessing the next word and then coming up with more rhyming words.
