This two-staple pamphlet, about 8½” square, offers TH in 32 pages to read aloud and think aloud.  The story is full of strong expressions both verbally and in the art.  We see the rabbit running (“Tap,  tap, tap”), and then running over the tortoise (“Waakh”) and moving on (“Wus, wus, wus”).  An English-language reader may be surprised to see the finish line titled “Finish.”  After a reading of the story aloud, there are two further steps: “think aloud” and “bookish play.”  The first step includes parents pre-reading the story to see if it is suitable for their child.  There are then plentiful questions the parent can ask the child about the story.  “Bookish play” includes asking which foods either of the animals would eat.  Other pamphlets in the series include “Ugly Duckling” and LM.

This two-staple pamphlet, about 8½” square, offers LM in 32 pages to read aloud and think aloud.  The story is full of strong expressions both verbally and in the art.  We hear the lion roar (“Hoam”), and then the mouse singing (“Tralala, trilili”).  Sounds that come with the mouse’s rope-eating are “Krit” and “Gigit.”  After a reading of the story aloud, there are two further steps: “think aloud” and “bookish play.”  The first step includes parents pre-reading the story to see if it is suitable for their child.  There are then plentiful questions the parent can ask the child about the story.  “Bookish play” includes coloring the two animals’ body parts and naming them.  Other pamphlets in the series include “Ugly Duckling” and TH.

This two-staple pamphlet, about 8½” square, offers "The Ugly Duckling" in 32 pages to read aloud and think aloud.  I am happy to include this pamphlet because it fills out the "2 in 1" series.  Might one consider it a fable?Other pamphlets in the series include LM and TH.
