I Can Roar!

Blurb: This engaging board book offers a
unique interactive experience for young children. Each page introduces a
different animal with a suggestion for how a child can imitate that animal,
such as ‘I can roar like a lion’ and
‘I can snap like a turtle.’ In place
of the animal's face on each brightly illustrated page is a four-inch circular
cut-out, allowing the child to insert his or her own face and pretend to
be the animal by acting out what the text instructs. Alternating between animal
sounds (‘I can hoot like an owl’) and
animal actions (‘I can stick out my
tongue like a snake’), this book provides children with loads of
opportunities for imaginative play. It is also an excellent resource for
teaching the youngest children about many kinds of animals. From a walrus to a
cow, a cat to a bear, seventeen are featured in all, including household pets,
farm favorites and creatures that live in the wild. The final page of the book
concludes with the empowering message ‘I
can be anything!’ Created by the bestselling and award-winning author and
illustrator Frank Asch, this book would work beautifully for a creative
activity with preschoolers or kindergartners. It could be used one on one with
a child or could be passed around the circle allowing each youngster to take a
turn with the next animal. This is a truly fun book that young children are
sure to request.
