Last week's storytime was a lot of fun as we interactively explored the jungle, and learned about friendship and conservation along the way.
The Rain Forest (Scholastic "First Discovery Book")
Gallimard Jeunesse, and Rene Mettler, illustrated by Rene Mettler
This transparency-flip book lets kids see scenes of the jungle from one viewpoint, and then reveals all the hidden mysterious creatures and life in the scene that may not have been obvious at first glance. It is a bit small, but we had mostly younger children, so they crowded around and we spent a lot of time examining all of the wonders of the rain forest.
What's in the Jungle? (lift the flap board book)
Renee Jablow, illustrated by Rosario Valderrama
A cute simple book with rhyming sets giving clues to what animals is hiding behind the flaps, easy enough for the youngest kids to guess. Very VERY short.
Explorers of the Wild
Cale Atkinson
A boy and a bear cub share a parallel story of solo exploration in a magical forest and mountain, until they encounter each other and after a brief moment of fear, realize what they have in common, and use their bravery and friendship to go further and explore more deeply than they ever did before. Very cute and I love the faux cartoon-rustic art style.
