Stage this reader's theater in your classroom to further children's enjoyment of the nursery rhymes in Rufus and Friends: Rhyme Time by Iza Trapani. This printable includes instructions, a playbill, and tickets.

Excerpted from

Rufus and Friends: Rhyme Time
Rufus and Friends: Rhyme Time
By Iza Trapani

Join Rufus and his motley canine crew on opening night as they act out fourteen silly, tongue-twisting nursery rhymes in Rufus and Friends: Rhyme Time. Best-selling author/illustrator Iza Trapani has extended each poem, playing with the sounds and rhythms that make language so much fun for young readers and help to build phonemic awareness. Children will also love looking on each page for hidden pictures that begin with the featured letter from the alliterative poems.
