"The very hungy catepillar" is a good book for children?

"The very hungry caterpillar” is a good book for children because you can work a lot of target of the curriculum, for example: children learn week´s days, some fruits, cycle of the butterfly. The pictures are fantastic for understandings the story, they are very funny because they seem colored by children. Also illustrations are very clear. I think book´s layout is perfect to motivate children because every food that appears in the story, has a small hole simulating the caterpillar has eaten a piece of different food.

Before listening

1. 1    Put in right order:

1. 2.      Mimic in the different stage of the cycle of the butterfly.

While listening

1.      Join Week´s days with the food

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

Saturday

 2.      Third time you read the story you could make mistakes with the fruit that it appears and the children should correct you, for example:
 

On Monday he ate through one pear,

But he was still hungry

On Tuesday he ate through two watermelons,

But he was still hungry

……..

After listening

1.       Complete with their names, each child will stick his name where he likes the most.

1.   Draws your own butterfly.

2. Change the food appears each day, and asks to children, what food do they want to eat?

On Monday he ate through one (apple)_____,

But he was still hungry

On Tuesday he ate through two (pears)_____,

But he was still hungry

……..

Handa´s surprise is a good book for children?

 While reading

I choose this book in my opinion it is very funny although there are some words that are difficult, with the picture you can understand everything. I think that the vocabulary is very simple because with this tales you can teach fruits and colours, and you can use this book for teaching Africa. You can comparative Africa houses, costumes and food with Spain. You can also teach values because Handa gives Akeyo a present, they are friends. Besides it is a funny story because of the end; I think the end is the best of this tale. Of course the tale´s pictures are surprising and the layout is fantastic, because of you can be mysterious to the story, and you can play with children. I am sure the children will laugh a lot of when you tell story. For this purpose the tale is fantastic for children´s motivation.

In my opinion, on the one hand you can tell this story if the children are very young, but you could change the different sentences and you could use the same sentence for all the fruits. In the other hand, the children are older you can read it  but you always have to show pictures.

Zog is a good book for children?

Zog is a good tale for the children because Zog is a small dragon that goes to the school, and the children can identify with this character. In my opinion book´s vocabulary is a few difficult for children who are studying a second language.  Because of this I think it is better tell story and show the picture. On the other hand I think the tale is very funny for the children because the layout and the illustrations are fantastic and children may continue to the story; when you are telling children story, if they don´t understand anything they can know for the pictures. Then they will motivate.  So I think Zog is a tale for entertaining.  

Reader of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (first chapter)

Charlie Bucket was a boy that lived with parents and his grandparents. They were a poor family and they didn´t have got enough money to buy food for everybody. Only once a year, on Charlie´s birthday, he used to get to taste a bit of chocolate. His family took him a bar of chocolate. Each day he used to eat one tiny bit of chocolate.

In his town there is a big and famous chocolate factory. It is WONKA’S FACTORY.  Every day when he came from school, he could see the factory and he smelt of melting chocolate. He wished he could go inside the factory.
