Cleary, Brian P.The Bug in the Jug Wants a Hug.
April 2009.
Lerner Publishing.
This is a great tool for teaching short vowel word families (-ug, -am, -un, -id, -en, -ot, -og, -et, -at, -ed, -ig, -ink, -an, -ell). While I anticipated the book, based on the title to be about the -ug word family, I was surprised to find that it's about short vowel sound words. I think the best use for this book would be to introduce word families one-by-one, rather than reading the entire book at once.
Despite my initial thoughts on what I anticipated the book to be and being a little discouraged that it wasn't a word family book, I will still definitely be using this in my classroom someday, or lending it out to early elementary teachers whose students will benefit from it!
