I love RATTLETRAP CAR! I use it in workshops as an example of a book that does everything I hate (loose internal rhyme, tons of onomotopoeia) and yet I love love love it. Rules, meant to be broken, etc.
I also LOVE RATTLETRAP CAR. It was one of my favorite books to read aloud when I was an elementary school librarian. It's a great book to use when working with young kids on predicting skills.
My students so enjoyed this book! They loved the onomatopoeia--the fizzelly sizzelly...wappity bappity...lumpety bumpety...bing bang pop!--and the razzleberry dazzleberry snazzleberry fizz.
The Runaway Bunny because it teaches about unconditional love and the love of parents/children
