Book Review: Does A Kangaroo Have A Mother Too?
Does A Kangaroo Have A Mother, Too? is a classic Eric Carle book told with classic Eric Carle art style and vibrancy. With many books of his, the art style is far from realistic. But we really love the repetitive sentence/question structures - it opens up the opportunity to learn new vocabulary and gain confidence in reading aloud.
The Play Dough Caterpillar 好玩的毛毛虫
You might not have known that The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle has been translated into over 60 languges! However, many of these translations are out of print or dangerously close to being out of print. That’s why translations are extortionately priced on sites like Amazon.
EU Luka Reading Robot Review
Ever since I found out about Luka, I’ve been dying to try one out. When I finally got hold of one, I started exploring how well it worked and the ways in which it could fit into our bilingual household. EU Luka is slightly different from China/US Luka but it still works well - mostly!
Magnetic Piggy Bank
Eliora really enjoys the book and it helps her enjoy the changing seasons in the UK. The activity should teach her not just colour but also encourage her to engage with the world around her!
