The girl and her father took a silent walk with their dog. As she walked to the park silently she was able to hear a new world of noises. I enjoyed the idea of listening. Its a dying trait. I would use this book as a prep reader for listening excersizes in my preK classroom, I can also reinforce walking, clearing your mind, paying attention, visiting the park, etc... Its illustrated and word choice for the young reader. Grades preK-3 ( )
