Evaluation:

This is a good book that involves the senses. It is a scratch and sniff book where you are able to smell the foods that are at the fair. The illustrations are very colorful and bring the text to life. It also has rhyming in it which is good for early readers. When reading the book aloud I can hear the characters talking and the language sounds natural. The is not and growth in the characters and they do not seem to have strengths and weaknesses.
