The flip-the-page format of the original small book has been retained, allowing the whole class to understand that if they can read MIG they can read PIG, WIG, and lots of other simple words that follow the same CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) pattern. Children will quickly get the idea that they can create and recognize strings of rhyming CVC words simply by changing the initial consonant. A DK Big Book.
