Because of their experience teaching English, they know the value of rhyme and rhythm in building language skills. And rhymes are fun! They give a child a sense of structure and mastery. Also, Anne and John live next to a small forest and there is at least one kangaroo living there, and they are pretty sure there's a koala as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 44\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.11 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 12, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51753297412384,"sku":"9780645978018","price":10.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/88952130cc223fb369d1feddd817cfc3.webp?v=1780016462","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-surprise-birthday-cake-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
