The dance party is important because Gerald learns it doesn't matter how you dance. Recommendation I would recommend this book to all toddlers. Toddlers would enjoy this story because there are amazing pictures to look at and a good story to hear.

This book would be great for early reader to primary and a low intermediate reader. It includes a lot of rhyming words that are fun for the students as well as counting numbers and showing colors. This book would be a great read aloud as the teacher would practice voice changing, counting, and rhyming while the students listen and enjoy.
In almost all children’s books, authors write fun and playful stories that ultimately intend to teach those reading it a lesson about life. The lessons seem simple, but they all make statements regarding how people function in the complex society of today. No matter what age a person is, reading literature will always provide a lesson concerning life and all of the challenges that come along with it. Without teaching these lessons, there would be no point to reading the story at all. In fact, the story would not even exist. The books My Antonia, The Joy Luck Club, and The Odyssey all prove true the fact that for a story to have value, it must make a statement.
Each time I see the name of a child’s book, I think to myself “what a boring book” but contrary to popular belief there some valuable lessons that can be taught through children’s book. And the same can said about Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin, Jr. & John Archambault. Expect with this book I didn’t know what to expect by just looking at the title. Once I started reading the book with my nephews, I notice how after we were finished reading the book, I notice how they immediately started trying rhyme or, at least, try to rhyme and I joined in with them and turn it into a game to see who could come up with the best rhymes.
He still makes it interesting for children that may not be at a level of reading just yet. The illustrations used through the pictures tell the story enough that it can be understood. The book is also illustrated by the author of the book, Syd Hoff. The story also teaches children to have fun in playing activities, even if you feel like you don’t really fit in. The author uses the dinosaur in the story to illustrate this feeling of not fitting in or being a little different from others, but still finding a way to have fun. (Hoff, 6). The author uses everyday things a child might see to make it believable to the reader. For instance, when they discuss the campfire scene in the story the pictures and words used are realistic to what might be found at a true camp scene, from telling stories and roasting marshmallows (Hoff
This book is for ages 5-10 (Pre-K to second grade). It introduces themes to children that usually aren’t seen in books of this reading level. By the end of the book, CJ learns about selflessness, humility, and empathy from his grandmother. After CJ has learned these lessons, we see CJ mature and appreciate the world around him.
I think that everyone in the world should read this book because it is a very indebt novel. Any one that wants to pursue a career dealing with child abuse or anything related to it should also read this book so they can see a abused child’s point of view. The main reason that I love this book dearly is because it is a very emotional novel and also because it really metaphorically put you in Dave’s life situations.
Personally I think this book is very affective in informing the changes in history, celebrating it and at the same time entertaining audiences of an older generation as well the young. It uses a wide yet not difficult range of vocabulary along with many illustrations that children can understand and adults will not get bored. When I read this book I was very surprised that a children’s book would contained such stories in the lives like the WW1 and loss of family.
The shortness of the book suit the attention span of most toddlers while the strong primary colours act as a good pull to return to the book again and again for the visual pull and on a learning level, consolidate the acquisition of new words. It is clear that Base wants readers to practice pesonalising the use of ‘like’ with infinitives. It could clearly be used at home or act as a lovely follow-up to pre-school activities or as book for young learners of English as an second or foreign language. The book could be used as a springboard for children to come up with other activities through role-play. When using it with my toddler, I’ll use it to ask him what other activities he likes to do and discuss that. As the illustrations are so vivid, the background details could also be used for extra
Some of the reasons I believe that it is a great introduction for kids is because it states all of the important facts from the book and it does it in a way that makes it fun to watch and that kids can understand. Some of the key facts that “Sword in the Stone” portrays is when Arthur meets a wizard
and illustrated by Eric Carle. Of course, I am much older than the children in my classroom, but I love this book. When Mrs. Kreider, the head teacher, reads this book, I feel like a little kid again. I say the words silently, as not to distract the children, as if the story is being read to me. The illustrations in the book are great because they use the primary colors, which are one of the first things children should learn at a young age. It uses animals that the children are familiar with. Some of the animals are not the colors that the children will witness if they were to see them in real life, but the author portrays them in a playful and rhythmical way. The pictures help the story to come alive. The children get a true visual image of what the author is saying and are in Ah at the same time. When watching the video of this story, I witnessed Eric Carle draw his pictures first, and then use glue and colorful paper cutouts to finish his drawings for this book. He put a lot of time and dedication into his
