Library Lion by Michelle Knudsen; illus. by Kevin Hawkes.
App activity:
Music:
"Dancing Bear" by Bari Koral
Adapt from story time: Put a large-sized letter "L"on your refrigerator. Have your child raise their left hand (hey, left is an "l" word!) and make the letter "L" with pointer and thumb. Be sure the tail of the "L" (thumb) follows the picture. Have them trace their "L" with their right pointer finger, just like we did in story time.
Additional Reads:
The Loud Book by Deborah Underwood
App of the day:
We used Axel Scheffler's Flip Flap Safari (story app) to begin having children share aloud in front of others about their crazy mixed creature creation. There is also a print book version which is a rhyming book. The app includes the rhymes and in addition includes added animal sound effects.
This is a great book to have a child begin listening to pronunciation word breakdown. If we cross a lion with an elephant we get a "li•ant". But, perhaps since it is British English you get "li-ra" for a cross between a lion and a zebra (zeb•ra). iTunes $0.99
