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.

While following the antics of a variety of animals, the reader is introduced to every two-numbered addition up to five with the help of a movable tab accompanying each illustration.
