![The Red Book](/sites/default/files/styles/book_cover_mobile_1x/public/book/0618428585.jpg?itok=J4M0TAge)
A girl finds a book with a red cover on a winter day that transports her to a sunny beach. The idea of getting lost in a book (figuratively and magically) is presented wordlessly; only illustrations are used. The story can be told or written any number of ways according to the writer’s interpretation of the story.

Crisp color photographs in this wordless book connect concepts defined in the titles. Another great picture book by Tana Hoban is Is It Rough? Is It Smooth? Is It Shiny? (opens in a new window). Both are sure to generate rich language as each picture is examined and described multiple times. [May also be used for building observational skills in science.]

![Jamberry](/sites/default/files/styles/book_cover_mobile_1x/public/book/0694006513.jpg?itok=wK9ghswr)
Jaunty rhymes (that just may be ‘sing-able’) are likely to lead to wordplay (literally) as one follows the animal cast play with berries of all kinds.

![Giraffes Can't Dance](/sites/default/files/styles/book_cover_mobile_1x/public/book/0439287197.jpg?itok=BA75KuJe)
Gerald, the giraffe, is told by the other jungle animals that he can’t dance. Of course, they’re proven wrong as Gerald does his thing in this rhyming tale. This book may also inspire alliterative use of language.

Two boys meet and develop a friendship. Readers will gain meaning and be able to read expressively from the animated presentation (in typeface and color as well as placement) of simple words which are ideal to read aloud in tandem. (Children can describe not only plot but attributes - characteristics and characterization - of the 2 boys. A discussion of language and how we greet our friends as well could take this into a social skills direction.)
