Roll Over, Pavlova!

Roll Over, Pavlova is a small children's picture book with pages and pages of short rhymes and sayings. I would not use this book for a specific classroom activity, however it would be another good book for individual students to read and enjoy for themselves.

This book portrays a lot of humour, with many silly rhymes which I believe is important to allow students to read. Sometimes it is important to have a book that is light hearted and and funny as they continue to engage students and allow them to enjoy reading.

This book contains a lot of rhyme, which makes the book flow and is easy for the student to read. Rhyme also engages the student as generally the words come naturally and this can also make students think of extra words to add into different places, extending their vocabulary.

The illustrations are in black and white and are extremely simple, however they show a lot of detail which relates back to the poem/rhyme. Again, the illustrations portray the humour which is shown throughout the book and once again keep the students engaged in the text.

I would use this book for year 3 students, even year 4 students as it is a good light hearted and simple read.
