Father Fox's Pennyrhymes
by Clyde Watson
Picture book · ages 3–7 · 300L · 1971

by Charles Keller
Picture book · ages 4–8 · 300L · 2001

A Caldecott winner built entirely on the satisfying logic of a cumulative chain — kids love the rhythm and the payoff, and the rhyme scheme carries them through multiple rereads.
