thumperrabbit Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 What's your favourite story to read to children (3-4yr olds) which has rhyming text?
Stargrower Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Charlie Cook's Favourite Book is my favourite. The children love Shark in the Park. 1
Rob6692 Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) My personal favourite is probably Some Dogs Do or The Gruffalo This might be of interest, it's a list of picture books that rhyme: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9611.Picture_Books_with_Rhymes Edited January 7, 2016 by Rob6692 1
narnia Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 At the moment, our children love Stick man..............and they never tire of Spookyrumpus
BedfordBoroughNicolaM Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 My Friend Bear by Jez Alborough ::1a
GFCCCC Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Monkey Puzzle - I'm not sure who love's it most - me or the children!
sunnyday Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 We all love 'Oi Frog' and 'One Mole Digging a Hole' :1b 2
lsp Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Oi Frog (thanks for the recommendation on the forum!) and anything from Julia Donaldson. Also Shark in the Park. 1
Panders Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Charlie Superhero Underpants by Paul Bright. Anything by Steve Smallman Poo in the Zoo - hilarious Sue Hendra books - Norman the Slug - Supertato Most things by Julia Donaldson, but not ALL 1
Stargrower Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Most things by Julia Donaldson, but not ALL Yes, I agree. Most are fab, but some are not so great! (I'm just jealous of her enormous talent! ::1a )
thumperrabbit Posted January 7, 2016 Author Posted January 7, 2016 Thanks for your input a few new ideas there - Shark in the Park is certainly one of ours for joining in with the repetitive refrain & rhyming at the top of their voices!! :lol:
green hippo Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Which Julia Donaldson's don't you like, out of interest? My favourite is Room on the Broom. The children live Duck in a Truck too.
lsp Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Thanks for your link Rob. Its reminded me of Hairy McClairy from Donalsons Dairy (must admit I like that one) :lol: 1
Panders Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Cait just checking - is that a dislike of Superworm because I'm not a huge fan of that one, but one of my members of staff is, and I'm not a huge fan of Tyranosaurus Drip either.
thumperrabbit Posted January 7, 2016 Author Posted January 7, 2016 I'm finding as I'm getting older that some books are getting really difficult to read to a group, as the text is all over the place - or is that just me?!
finleysmaid Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 I'm finding as I'm getting older that some books are getting really difficult to read to a group, as the text is all over the place - or is that just me?! I loathe commotion in the ocean /rumble in the jungle etc......not sure if that's age or just good taste :lol: However we have noticed that the children we now have (younger age and more eal/sen) are less able to access the more wordy texts (not unsurprising!) and I have even found myself reading things like dear zoo to the whole group to great delight....even from the more able children 4
Bahra Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Shark in the Park is a favourite at the moment, closely followed by the Gruffalo and Going on a Bear Hunt Kamal Bahra
playgroup1 Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Don't forget "Shark in the Dark" and "Shark in the Park on a Windy Day". Our children love then so much and asked for them at every opportunity so we decided to put them away for a while to preserve the sanity of the staff! Will bring them out again soon though!
