Rhyming Games with Animal Names -
Musical CD and Interactive Sing-along Book
Written, illustrated and sung by Amara Karuna
Guitar and vocals by Robert Kelaghan

Children love to ask and answer questions!
This interactive book and CD set offers an amusing and educational tool for creative discussion with young children, when you want to do more than just read a story. Original, lively songs and big bright photographs of familiar animals and objects make learning fun. Children will enjoy learning to recognize the names, images and sounds of over 35 animals, birds and insects such as a dog, cat, cow, frog, mouse, dove, otter, parrot, and bee. The young reader is invited to answer the questions of Who, What, When, Where, Why and How? Playful rhymes teach these ideas along with spatial concepts of Above, Below, Behind, In Front, Beside and Inside, and leave room for your own stories to unfold.
“Why is the toad in the middle of the road?” is one of the questions left open for the child to guess, inviting silly or serious ideas. “Who do we know on top of the snow? It’s the crow!” The book includes games for teachers and parents to use, such as matching the rhyming words and images with each other, and asking for the child to answer questions about the pictures in their own way. “How could the snake be right beside the cake?” Photos of families doing familiar activities such as cooking together, shopping, reading and riding bikes include people of different racial backgrounds. Excellent for young children aged 2 to 5, and remedial or “English as second language” students.
