When Grammy Looked Away!: What Did Zoe See?

Grammy, babysitting her grandchildren who live in another country, wants a few moments of peace to drink her coffee, so she sets a task for the chattering Zoe: "Tell me what you cannot see." And so the game begins and the book is born! Accumulating animals on every page, the story follows in the footsteps of wonderful legacy books, such as The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch, in its predict-and-recall-friendly- format. As parents and grandparents, we recognize our families in this charming book, written, with love, to entertain and educate. For parents who work away; families living in different households, you're on video-link from your sofa to their bedroom, your child follows the junior version, with its full-page illustrations while you read the narrative. Adults and children have an identical book and follow the story at their own level. For grandparents whose long-distance WhatsApp calls may be, like mine: "So how is your Minecraft going?" And so follows a fascinating description of something, for which I have no terms of reference. The solution is simple. Here is the ultimate read-together book. You will meet chatty Zoe, Grammy Roz in her afternoon siesta mode, young Samuel who only wants to help Grammy, and Buster the dog, who knows a scary coyote when he sees one. An amazing assortment of wild animals are brought to the backyard by Zoe's fertile imagination, joining beautifully illustrated local wildlife. And... can you spot Buster the dog, who wanders onto every page? With the charming family interactions of the Bluey animations, the story entertains with the fun of prediction and participation in the story while including collective nouns, adjectives, similes, verbs, and adverbs. It is an outstanding and versatile resource for classroom teachers and home educators because Grammy is a teacher to her core!
