I am

this post is still on my old blog. I am still learning word press. May be
next post on word press….hope so…!!!
Book Review - How many of you
are really found of reading. I am one of the bookworms and so my child is too. I
started read aloud with her at eight months. Whenever I want to gift her, I
always try to give her a new book and she loves it. Please tell me in the
comment section how many of your kiddos love to read.
Tractors - Our favorite book. We
read it almost thousands of times. Saee read it with her father, mother and if
there is any guest as if her grandfather or uncle, then she told them to read
also. We do have tons of book including storybooks, but this is one of our best
books.
Written by Stella Maidment and illustrated by
Katie Saunders.
I
love the illustration part of the book.
It is illustrated in such way that neither a small child nor an adult
get bored while reading. I always love this kind of books, which have more
picture and small sentences. With the help of pictures child can relate the
story. These empower not only child’s imagination power but also improve a
vocabulary.
It
is all about Tractors. How tractor looks, how it works, who drive the tractors
and what are the uses of tractors. More about it explain in such way that it enhance
the other learning skills too. It have counting, maze, recognition of farm
animals, community helpers and last but not the list picture sequence story.
First
two pages explain how tractors look like, how many wheels it has. How many engine
it have and how many people seat inside it. How are the tiers of the tractors? Then there is the question to find out the track
of tractor by comparing with other objects. One kind of visual discrimination,
as child has to look closely and find out the right answers. Saee’s favorite
page shows that tractor can plough the fields. Child has to find out which
tractors ploughed the straight line and curved line. She loves to do it repeatedly.
Counting activity: Tractors carry a heavy loads…lets count how many
logs are there. The next page is the picture of community helpers like dancer,
doctor, driver, and receptionist. Child has to find who the driver is.
Maze activity : Tractors carried
the hay to the cow and asked the child to help the tractor to show the road.
Every child love to do maze…..right!!
Big
farm with pictures of farm animals. Tractors digging a big hole for making
pond. You can ask the child who will live in that pond. Is it hen, duck, or cat? Can you show me how
many farm animals are there? Can you count and name them?
Find out the bigger, smaller tractors. Last but not the list picture
sequence. Saee love to make a story by sequencing the picture in correct order.
I
love this interactive books which includes so many skills that child can learn
while reading. You can ask number of Wh- questions to your child. If your child refused to learn counting, maze
or reading…get this type of book and start read aloud with your kidddo. I am
sure that he or she loves it.
Last
part is the question which tractor you would like to drive. There are three tractors
so we decide which tractor is belongs to
pappa, mumma and Saee !
Saee
did not like the book when we bought it. In fact, first two month she was not at all
ready to open the book. Slowly I started to read it myself and then she likes
to read. Now she can read herself with the help of picture. She can able to
make a sentence and explain me the story. I cannot express my feeling in words-
how you feel when your small child read a book to you. You can only feel it , right mommies!!
I will recommend must have book in your kiddos library.
Which
is your child’s favourite bedtime book?
Thank
you for stopping by.
