Reading Through the Alphabet: D



I have been posting about picture books, but I couldn't resist adding one of Zeke's favorite board books this week - "Doggies: a counting and barking book" by Sandra Boynton! He loves this book and brings it to me all the time to read to him. It's a really simple and fun read. You get to "bark" in several different ways throughout the book - "yip, yip", "bow wow wow", "arf arf", and "ar-rolf!" just to name a few. Zeke likes to point to the dogs while I count and loves when I "bark" enthusiastically! I highly recommend this book to any toddler. It would make a great gift.

The next book we read was "Daniel's Duck" by Clyde Robert Bulla. This is "An I Can Read Book", level 3. It's a great story of a boy named Daniel who carved a duck for the county fair. He carved his duck with his head looking back, and everyone who saw it laughed. He thought they were laughing at his duck, but they laughed because they liked the duck. We "rowed" this book when we were doing Five in a Row.

The last book is an oldie but goodie - "Danny and the Dinosaur" by Syd Hoff. This book has a copyright of 1958. I found this original copyright, hardcover book in great condition at a thrift store for less than a dollar. It's been read many times! The illustrations are simple and colored in with crayon or colored pencil. It's also "An I Can Read Book" and my kids have lovingly read it over and over.

    We have the Doggies book - we picked it up almost new at a library sale. My daughter loves it. I think we may need to dig out all our Sandra Boynton board books for her to re-read.

    That dog book sounds like so much fun.

      I couldn't find a place to leave a comment on your blog but I loved your Dumbo post! You are right - there are tons of elements to pull from the movie for a great homeschool unit.
