Linda L. Oliphant
Yes, a very simple book that can be very imaginative!
I saw this little gem at a used book store and bought it for my grandsons ages 6 and 4. They live on the other side of the planet so once a month I send a package which always contains a book or two.
There isn’t much to this book; but I loved it! There are so much to discuss with children and many imaginative games to be played here. Here’s a few ideas:
1. The text is fairly simple. I think the 6 year old could read this with some help
2. The first sentence is the author’s opinion of what is important. This can lead to discussion…what would you or child choose?
3. Play a type of memory game with each object. What was important? How was it described?
3. What else could be in the description?
4. Play a game: Choose objects, decide what would be important then describe them. This can be played anytime anywhere. A great car game!
Yes, a very simple book that can be very imaginative!
