Oh boy, I slacked off last week with choosing a children's book!
So this week I chose a book and let Van pick any book. He chose the book his Dad has read to him every night this week; 'The wolf who cried boy' so he has clearly enjoyed it.
The book I chose stuck with the theme but is told by the Wolf. It is a really cute story with fantastic illustrations!
On the topic of this theme; Since we've moved a few months back, Van now has a tree in our back yard to climb. Just about every time he is back there climbing he yells for help. At first we'd run to his rescue thinking his foot may be stuck or a branch is weak. This became old real quick.. So I set out to the library for this book to teach him that yelling 'HELP!' will eventually lose its urgency when you yell it for no reason. Well, with that we've read just about every version of this book and he still yells help. Only difference is we don't RUN to his rescue, just glance over to see him smirking at us. Cheeky Monkey...
Do you remember the carnival in PS46 where they had the puppet show of The True Story of the Three Little Pigs? I loved it then and still love it. It's a little too long for me to read for reading aloud unfortunately. But I read it for a 3rd grade class visit!
ReplyDeleteHow was it that long ago and I can still remember it vividly?!
