Genre: Poetry and Rhymes
Rating: Early Elementary 4 (recommended)
This book is a K-1 reading level. I feel this book is challenging when teaching young students correct sounds, animals and the sounds they make. I feel this book would only be challenging to younger kids. If I were to read this book to an upper elementary class they would be uninterested quickly.
Summary:
This book is an adventure book. Before you turn the page, you will be wondering what is going to happen next. This book is about a goose who chases a butterfly. The goose then, chases the butterfly all through the barn. Then the goose.... To figure out what happens next, you will have to read this awesome book.
Educational Purpose:
Before I would read this book to my students, I would ask them if they know any animals on a farm? If so, what sounds do those specific animals make? I would do this just to make connections before diving into a book. I would read the animals names, say the sounds they make and have my students repeat after me. To follow up the book, I would have them draw their favorite barnyard animal, tell me the sounds it makes and why they chose to draw that specific barnyard animal.
Good job on the blog post Kelci. I like how easy your blog was to follow along, and I enjoyed the layout of your reviews. I think that the book is kind of an in the middle of the year kind of book for kinds. This looks like a wonderful children book to read to my future student’s. I think that kids would really enjoy this book.
