I loved this book as a kid and my little girl loved it too!

Book is in rhyme, with pictures in each line of text to help the child realize which object in the kitchen is saying what. Good example of personification.

"Teapot fell," said the dinner bell.
"Is she dead?" asked the bread
"Broke her spout," said the trout.
"Push her up," said the cup.
"I can't," said the ant.
"Please try," said the pie.

You'll have fun with this one.
reviewed I Can't, Said the Ant on
One of my favorite books as a child. Reading now as an adult, I can't wait to share the same magic of the innocence of the book with younger readers.

Cute rhyming book that you may remember from childhood. Miss Teapot falls and the rest of the kitchen items work together to put her back where she belongs.

This is an older book from 1961. But my kids loved it so I hope yours will too. It is about an ant taking a walk when he hears a noise and finds a cracked teapot. The entire kitchen starts talking including the teapot, the jar, the cheese. All of it is also in rhyme.

Great way to teach your kid's about rhyming. The picture clues also help them with their reading plus makes it fun
