jaday said: Thank goodness for big brothers. When Zachary dons his glasses his imagination is unleashed, and he gains super powers. His little sister, Layla, is in his charge. Forces threaten to wake her, but Zachary stomps on their plans.
A big brother or older sibling may feel displaced with a new baby in the picture. Kathy Stemke’s book shows children how to adopt a new role as protector and have fun using their imagination.
Keeping an eye on a sleeping baby could be boring, but not for Zachary. He takes the baby for a walk and uses his imagination to add spice to the trip.
As he imagines everything from silencing a train’s whistle to a bear’s growl children are spell bound by the colorful illustrations by Jack Foster.
For an added treat, the book introduces consonant blends within the text and lessons in the back of the book. Stemke’s experience as a teacher is exercised by the added lessons and supply teachers with ready-made lessons.
The "Teacher Supplement" includes:
* The link to a template of thick black-framed glasses that Zachary wore
* Comprehension questions
* A consonant blend song
* A consonant blend musical chairs game
* A consonant blend worksheet
* Dolch Sight Words Recognition exercise
* Instructions for Beanbag Hoop Toss
* And more
I highly recommend Sh Sh Sh Let the Baby Sleep.
