| Publisher Description: In this tale, a grandmother and grandchild have a candid conversation about the function of body parts that are found endearing, but puzzling, by an inquisitive grandchild. Surprise leads to sweet rhyming responses that are satisfyingly and lovingly imparted by an understanding grandmother. While the reader may catch a glimpse of "Little Red Riding Hood's" refrain, "yes, my dear", the story goes beyond fairytale. Colorful illustrations and simple language combine to both entertain and engage the child in exploring the grandparent relationship and demonstrates value in multi-generational learning. Regardless of the many names for grandmother, this affectionate grandparent poem makes a great read for both grandmother and grandchild. The predictable phrases and rhyming words are important strategies for developing phonological awareness in young children, an important skill for developing early literacy. LITERACY LINKS provides various ways to "read" the book with attention to various aspects of literacy skills, including: *phonological awareness *phonemic awareness *alphabetic principle *predictable text *and more This book is also part of the MeComplete Early Learning Program, Volume 1, Unit 3, Me and My Family.
