What fun we have had reading this title this week.  For some reason, I never read this title to the three olders.  I'm guessing perhaps the book wasn't avail. at the library we were using at that time. ???  That being said, they have ALL been gathering around for this reading. 

Mark has really enjoyed it and he has made me laugh too.  He says "Oh, Poor, Katy.  cry cry cry"  I'll ask:  "Why is Katy sad"  He says "no pocket"  Then he'll say "Poor Freddy" (Katy's baby) 

We have had fun pretending to be the different animals and I "carry" him like all the different animals in the book.  This has been much fun.  Since Mark loves to count, this book has been a hit in the counting department.  Lots of things to count (animals and tools) 

He is very happy when Katy gets her apron and we have learned some new animals too.  He did not yet know a raccoon or opossum or a snail.  Mark also added that Mr. Owl said "Whooo Whoooo" in a deep voice.
