For this book talk I found a great book that I pulled from my nephews bookshelf. I tried to think of a summary in my own words but found that nothing I thought of sounded as great as this summary that I found on the book off of Google Books:
"Story hour alert! Here's a book with a clever premise, a bouncy text, and sunny, funny pictures. . . . Supremely satisfying." -- BOOKLIST (starred review)
Mama Duck has a good hunch that the big brown creature waddling behind her babies is no duck! As the foxy impostor sneaks closer and closer to Mama Duck's trailing brood, little ones will delight in shouting out his identity. Infectious rhythms and fresh, expressive watercolors liven up the pursuit, which ends when Mama Duck confronts the villain, beak to snout, and beats him at his own game."

This describes perfectly the fun and humor that this book has to offer. I loved this book and think it awesome for the children in the primary grades. I found a cute site that has informational facts that are young learner freindly in order to create activites around for the classroom. It gives facts about ducks that can be applied to a science lesson. http://www.kiddyhouse.com/Farm/ducks.html
Or the book can just be simply read during story time! The kids would love it!
I really like this book. i like the way you used someone else description of the book! Its a very umm..happy book is a good way to describe it lol. I like your actuvity that you attached and i also think that a little side lesson for maybe olderish kids is the...let me get this spelling right.. onomatopoeia..(i totally butched it on class) lol but i saw a ton of them in the class. Unless i was imagining thing... lol but a lesson can introduce that! :)
ReplyDeleteThis book was very cute! I think it can be used in the classroom when teaching about animals and the sounds they make, probably best for a kindergarten classroom if you use it that way. I like the activity you attached to this blog post! it's cool that the book can be applied to a science lesson, it can probably be used for even a first grade class, it might make things a little more advanced. It also teaches onomatopoeia, because of all the farm animals sounds. Good pick for this week, I loved the book!
