Move Over Rover



Beaumont, Karen. 2006. Move over Rover. Ill. by Jane Dyer. Orlando: Harcourt, Inc.

Rover is in the doghouse alone, but not for long. When a thunderstorm pops up he suddenly has a lot of company. As other animals join him it becomes very crowded -- until skunk shows up! The cover of this book is irresistible with a picture of Rover and his mouse friend to draw children into the book. This perfect for storytime book uses watercolor and liquid acrylic on hot press watercolor paper to create delicious illustrations which help tell the story. As the children listen to the story which uses repeating phrases, they can visualize how crowded the dog house becomes. This humourous story will delight children and adults. It's recommended for ages 3-7.
