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.

The message being that they can do anything they if they try in there own special way. Little boys and girls would enjoy this book. Personal
I read the picture book If you give a pig a party by Laura Nemeroff. This book is about a little girl who wants celebrate her pig's birthday, she is planing a lot of activities , such as the decoration, the games, and the the food. She realized that planning a birthday is a hard work because she has to keep happy to all pig's friends (different animals). This book has a lot of pictures to keep the children's attention when an adult is reading. I read it to my students and my daughter and they want to read it again and again.
They need to see how characters in books handle the same fears, interests, and concerns that they experience” in the book of Corduroy children may reflect how sometimes they want something but their parents cannot afford it, how will they obtain what they want? (para.11). through the storytelling the teacher may ask the children what they will do in this case. Children may interact in the storytelling. This book has discussion points in which the children may ask questions and use their problem solving skills. Susan Sherwood shares in the article Good Books for Dramatic Storytelling for Young Children that “the best ones appeal to children's lives and interests, such as families, animals, communities and humor”, Corduroy fits this criteria children love stuffed animals, and they will be interested in knowing how the little girl gets to take Corduroy home
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
I would recommend this book for anyone to read. It's a great story and can show anyone a lesson. I really liked it! It

When my parents read to me, they enjoyed reading Dr. Suess books, which became popular with the publication of The Cat In The Hat. I was only interested in looking at books with color. When the books were colorful they grabbed my attention quickly. I couldn’t wait for my parents to come in my room at night and read to me from The Cat in the Hat. I think that this is one of the popular books that parents should read to their children.
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.
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.
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.
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
