Andy, That’s My Name

This is a reprint of a 1973 book in which Andy approaches a bored group of older kids pulling a wagon with his name spelled in large letters.  The older kids claim he’s too little to play as they grab his letters and use them to create a series of rhyming words; ran, man, pan, ran and hand, band, sand, stand.  “Can I have my name back,” Andy repeatedly asks and the kids always answer with, “No.” Finally he grabs his name and walks away leaving the kids and the remaining letters in a jumble.  A great book for reinforcing both decoding and rhyming.
