Teeny Weeny Bop

MacDonald, Margaret Read. Teeny Weeny Bop. Illustrated by Diane Greenseid. Albert Whitman, 2006. ISBN 0-8075-7992-0 $16.95. Ages 4-8.

MacDonald has done it again, with another exciting folktale, but this time she mixes it up a bit by writing a story that deals with many folktales instead of just one. Greenseid’s pictures keep the reader wanting more, with bright colors, expressions, and detail. It all starts with Teeny Weeny Bop finding one gold coin, then going to market to buy a fat pig. Readers will travel with Teeny Weeny Bop “To market, to market!” and back to her home. The reader will fall in love with Teeny Weeny Bop and all of her animals. After going through five animals, will Teeny Weeny Bop find the perfect pet, or will she finally learn her lesson? Sing along with Teeny Weeny Bop and see how the story goes!
