Racing cars are exciting, especially ones driven by big dogs, giraffes and hippos! As the animals drove their cars around the race track, we did the hand gestures and we sang a new version of the classic song "Wheels on the Bus" in the very entertaining book Wheels on the Race Car by Zane. It is fun to imitate all the various sounds of vehicles such as cars, trains, buses, and fire engines. Can You Choo Choo?, which is nicely illustrated by Wojtowycz, encourages kids to pretend, chime in and be noisy! I asked the children about the sounds that rain makes on their windows as we read the big story Who is Tapping at My Window by Deming.
