4.0 out of 5 stars
Delightful pictures of farmyard animals, in a rainy setting.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Who Is Tapping at My Window? (Picture Puffins) (Paperback)
The Big Book edition (38x48cm) is great for the classroom. I am an English Activity Co-ordinator for Elementary Schools in Kanazawa in Japan. The children love the bright, colourful pictures and the rhythmical pattern of "It's not I", said the cat. "It's not I", said the rat. June is the rainy season in Japan, so it's a great book to tie in with the theme of rain. There are 14 animals which feature in the book, cat/rat, wren/hen, fox/ox, loon/raccon, cony/pony, dog/frog, bear/hare. (I wasn't sure what a cony was, had to consult the dictionary on that one!!) Once the children became familiar with the rhythmical pattern, they made animal masks, drew their own illustrations on large pieces of cardboard and recited the words in the book, performing a play. In Japanese, this is called, "kamishibai". This is an excellent book for its simplicity of words, bright and colourful illustrations and versatility in the classroom.
