My co-worker come into the office the other day telling me how much her preschoolers benefited from the book--
What can Dogs Do?. (I've also adapted
What can Cats Do, and a
Counting Horses book along the same verbs theme.) My colleague and I discussed what other animals can demonstrate verbs, and we came up with monkeys or chimps. Tarheel Reader didn't have a ready-made chimps and verbs book, but they have a very easy user interface for anyone to make a new book, so I did! It's easy to search for photos to match what you want on their site, so
here it is on Tarheel Reader.
I'm sure I'll be making more soon!
I also uploaded this book to Google docs, and added a page of icons (pictured on the left). You can laminate the book and icons, and use velcro so the child can attach/unattach/move around/make choices.

Thank you for this and all of the other wonderful books. My students love them!

ReplyDeleteBy the way, a smiling chimp is scared, not happy. The smile in this book is called a "fear grimace" by primatologists.
