But 23-month old little-AJ doesn't like it, and since this is a children book targeting young kids, his opinion matters. Hence the average rating. Share the story Read aloud Before you start reading the book aloud look at the cover, what might this dad be doing? Can you make that face too? Read the story aloud to your child, taking time to talk about the pictures as you do when your child would like to. Talk about the book Talk about anything your child is puzzled by, this may be phrases such as ‘daft as a brush’ or the very strange things happening in the pictures, eg tartan toast, dad always in his dressing gown, dad with the head of an owl or turned into a fish. Children might notice the fairy tale and nursery rhyme characters in two of the illustrations: Hey Diddle Diddle (see link to a video version of this below) and Red Riding Hood Watch the storySéquence conçue par Sylvie Hanot (Cafipemf LVE) et travail mené en classe + fiches élèves créées par Julie Vial Anthony Browne".

Si vous utilisez des idées trouvées ici, je vous serais reconnaissante de citer ce blog. Merci de votre compréhension. The book uses some opposing ideas. For example, dad is both as big as a house and as soft as my teddy. Make up your own pairs of opposing images to describe the same person, animal or object. We love the buttons on Dad’s pyjamas in this picture. They all have a little smiling face. Everytime we read this book we find new details, quirks and even make up our own. And then we got home. Dad was mending a plug when suddenly he fell, seemingly in slow motion, and started writhing around making these terrible noises. It went on and on: we didn't know what to do . . . and then he was just lying there: this great, god-like figure on the floor, amid this scene of total devastation. I'd thought he was invincible. And I'd just started to rebel against him; we'd only just begun to argue ..." However, this book is not a favourite of 23-month old little-AJ. In fact, he avoids this book whenever he can. His expression looked doubtful whenever this book was read to him, like he wasn't too sure what exactly this book was all about. He is probably unable to associate his mum as the brown hair woman with floral prints all over, with drastic transformation of appearance from Lion to rhinoceros to a little kitten and butterfly and superwoman.I like the book. It's sunny, easy to read, full of bright and colourful floral prints, and the illustrations are simply awesome. It's a book about what the author's mum is like. I like those very cheeky texts which make this book a really fun one to read "she's really, REALLY nice, my mum". I love how the author portrays the different aspects of his mum: she is a fantastic cook, brilliant juggler (a multi-tasker?), she can sing like an angel, and roar like a lion, she makes him laugh etc. Browne's school was supportive of his artistic ambitions; however, despite embarking on English and art A-levels, he left without taking the exams. "I was bored," he confesses. "So I left, and did my foundation year at art college in Leeds. And it was in that year that my dad died." Print off the game sheet onto paper or card. Cut into individual cards. Read the word cards to your child and match with the pictures together. Then muddle them up and see if your child can read the word cards themselves, helping them if they need you to (by for example matching with the words in the book) and then pairing with the pictures. Make a book I slowly became aware that people kept asking: 'Why d'you give dads such a hard time?'" he says. "At first I was defensive, thinking, no, I don't - but of course they were right. And then I started to wonder whether it was to do with my not forgiving my dad for going away when he did." The young narrator of this sweet, heartwarming picture-book tribute to mothers describes his own mom's many wonderful qualities, from her skills as cook and juggler to her butterfly-like beauty and armchair-like comfiness. He concludes with the declaration that he loves his mom, and that she loves him, and always will...
