About this deal
This performance starts with the familiar traditional rhyme then moves into different variations. Perhaps you could make up some more versions together too! When children are familiar with the rhyme, invite them to join in, for example with sound effects such as ‘vroom vroom.’ If they know it very well, they might join in all the way through as you read or sing the rhyme. Talk about the Book
If you want to put toys or teddies in the car, cut a big square out of the top of the box. Make sure this step is done very carefully by an adult.My almost 2 year old son absolutely adores this book and we have ended up reading it several times a day since we bought it! Lovely, bold illustrations give us lots of things to talk about and singing the melody of a well-known tune is an excellent idea!
a clear winner from a read-aloud perspective (kids love familiar tunes, and kids love cars). Expect to enjoy this one again and again at your child's request.Before sharing the book with your child, read it yourself to see how the rhyme works and to decide whether to read or sing when you share it with your child. Either is fine. Read (or sing!) the story to your child pausing if they notice something in the illustrations they want to talk about.
