Calico Cat at the zoo Book

How could I pass up a Boynton ABC book?! This was great. Classic Boyton pictures (which I love). And you could go through this either with adjectives and animals together, or adjectives first and then animals. I suppose that would depend on the curiosity and attention-span of the child in the lap-read. It might be difficult in a storytime because pointing out everything would take away the flow and (I think) get distracting. But not pointing out would have them missing out on some things. Still, it's so fun, it could be worth a try in a preschool group.

Best part: X. Ha ha ha!!!

2/11/15 Boynton humor can sometimes be over the heads of the preschoolers. It was in this case for the majority of my group. I tried this for my Literacy Moment. WAY too long for that. Way too long for a book as well. They loved calling out the animals. And I had them acting out the adjectives. It worked quite well. It's just that the new kids I had were way too wiggly and dominant and it rather scared my regulars who are a bit younger and much quieter. At least one mom asked to take the book home so that her son could get the full enjoyment of it on his own.
