Richard Scarry's "Best Little Word Book Ever" is a wonderful word for teaching! It is about Huckle Cat and his friends and family! Every page is filled with pictures and vocabulary words, from clothing, food, and ways of transportation. Great for small group and/or individual reading/learning. It is for Pre-K - 1st maybe 2nd grade.
This book is full of words and pictures for children that are learning to read. It is a great book for preschoolers. In the back it has the alphabet with pictures and words to help the child learn.
Hoje vi um meme sobre o RFK Jr em que diziam que o Lowly Worm estava dentro da cabeça dele, para quem não sabe, o dito cujo de fato tem um verme vivendo na cabeça dele e comeu parte de seu cérebro (inacreditável, eu sei, mas é verídico, o próprio Kennedy mencionou isso ano passado). Como não conhecia o Lowly Worm, fui procurar e soube que além de ser um personagem longevo do Richard Scarry para inúmeros livros infantis, também houveram séries animadas para seus personagens na TV, uma delas o Lowly Worm está sempre dirigindo um carrinho em forma de maçã, o que explica o meme que vi com a cabeça do Kennedy. Rá!
Huckle Cat carries you through the book with great emphasis on words. You learn the names of everyday items with pictures to go along with them. Toward the end of the book there is the complete alphabet with Huckle's friends and other things. At the very end of the book Huckle has all his body parts named.
