How to "Read it Again" 

 1. The first time you read the book, try to read it all the way through without stopping.

2. After reading, go back into the story and ask your child to tell you what the story was about or ask your child to explain what's happening within the illustrations.

3. Over the course of the next week, find time to read the book two to three more times. It's okay to read the book multiple times a day... we actually encourage it! After each subsequent reading, ask comprehension questions

4. Consider taking your child's learning to the next level by purchasing the our Beyond the Book Resources. This download ($2.99) includes multiple educational learning activities created specifically for this book.
​
​5. It’s within this layering of reading and follow-up activities that the real magic starts to happen.

Why I Love These Toys:
  • There are no batteries.
  • They encourage imaginative play.
  • They make it easy to 
    re-enact the story.
  • ​They take the learning another step forward.
