This is a children's picture book, specifically a predictable book. Predictable books are for the early reader and they have several characteristics. The sentence structure is simple. The vocabulary is limited. There is a great deal of repetition in the pattern of the story and the words themselves. Predictable books help the early reader develop the skill of anticipation or prediction which is an important part of reading.
