Request this book from the Library This is a fun interactive book with Helen Oxenbury's great illustrations. As you read, act the book out with exaggerated movements. Slap hands on thighs to represent walking. Swishy swashing - brush hands together. Splash splosh - pretend to swim. Squelch squerch - pretend your feet are stuck in the mud as you make the squishy sounds. Stumble trip - stumble while walking. Hooo wooo - pretend the snow is falling. Tiptoe tiptoe - tiptoe in an exaggerated way. This title helps kids become storytellers. Librarian review written by Mollie

	Wave Suzy Lee (2008) , 32 pages Audience: Toddlers Preschool Primary (K-3rd grade) Category: Early Literacy: Narrative Skills New Books Oceans Wordless Picture Books
Request this book from the Library What an enchanting wordless book this is! A little girl goes to the beach with her mother. The story focuses on the interplay between the little girl and the sea wave as it comes and goes. At first she is tentative approaching the wave and as she becomes more comfortable, she even sticks out her tongue when the wave becomes bigger. Although it overcomes her, it leaves behind the gift of seashells. Accompanying the girl is a flock of sea gulls who mirror the girl's action. A book to read with your eyes and tell the story with your voice! Librarian review written by Mollie A delightful story of a little girl and her day at the sea told through illustrations. Her curiosity about the sea's waves takes her through a variety of feelings: excitement, joy, playfulness, hesitation, and gratitude. A simple story with simple drawings and simple message!
