"Squirrels & Nuts" books we are reading today: -That Pup! By Lindsay Barrett George, Published by Greenwillow Books, an Imprint of Harper Collins Publishers -When a Tree Grows by Cathy Ballou Mealey, Illustrated by Kasia Nowowiejska, Published by Sterling Children’s Books -Shake the Tree! By Chiara Vignocchi, Illustrated by Silvia Borando, Published by Candlewick Press... Early Literacy Tip: In "That Pup" kids can look for the acorn & squirrel on each page spread. The ability to recognize visual details in a picture helps kids later when they learn to read. They will need to discriminate between the shapes of different letters, and letters like b, d, p, and q look very similar, or identify letters printed in unfamiliar fonts.
