Description
Troubles with Bubbles
eBook/PDF
Written by Frank B. Edwards
Illustrated by John Bianchi
After an afternoon of play, the zoo animals are dirty and ask the zookeeper for a bath. She sends them on their way with soap and towels but things don’t go as smoothly as she hoped. The story features a rhythmical, repeating text.
“We are dirty. We want to be clean.”
“Go to the tub and scrub with soap and water.”
Too much soap and not enough water makes for some bubbly trouble but the zookeeper knows just what to do.
This ebook is in PDF format so that teachers and parents can easily use smart phones, computers and projectors to engage young readers.
The $1 price ensures it is easily affordable and that illicit sharing is unnecessary. (After all, the author and illustrator need to buy groceries too.) Please direct other teachers and parents to Pokeweed’s online store to buy their own copies. Thank you.
The books in this New Reader series are designed to encourage children to take their first tentative steps toward reading.
The series has proven to be very popular with teachers and parents as well as young children who enjoy the experience of learning to read. The books use classic literacy strategies to encourage new readers to learn language skills:
- Repetition
- Rhyme
- Predictability
- Simple illustration to provide context and clues
- Simple language
- Number patterns
Children quickly learn the word and number patterns so they can predict the number of characters who will appear on the following page and the words that develop the simple plots. Bright, colourful illustrations work wonderfully for literacy instructors and parent who use a “story-talk” approach to engage children with the book.
(What is “story-talk?” Follow this link to watch a video of the author reading AND talking to a child about one of his New Reader books.)
