I like this book because of the repitition and the rhyme. The book continuesly repeats "but peanut butter and jelly is my favorite thing to eat" this makes this book an awesome shared reading or whole group read so the students can join in with the teacher. It also is great for fluency. Secondly, I like this book because of the rhyme. "I often eat potatoes and gravy with my meat; but peanut butter and jelly is my favorite thing to eat," the rhyme scheme throughout the book makes it predictable and good for young, new readers. Overall the purpose of this book was to entertain. ( )
