Synopsis

In this tale, a grandchild’s inquisitive nature leads to a sincere, yet fun conversation about the unique characteristics of her grandfather...from his fuzzy arms to his strong back. The grandfather answers in rhyming responses which satisfy and endear his grandchild to him. Child’s curiosity and grandparent understanding combine to offer this sweet story of the special grandfather/grandchild bond. "Oh Poppa" portrays the fun-loving trait of grandfathers that make them special! 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 grandfather, this affectionate grandparent poem makes a great read for any child who loves their grandfather. The predictable phrases and rhyming words are important strategies for developing phonological awareness in young children, an important skill for developing early literacy. The LITERACY LINKS page provides multiple ways to promote literacy skills as you read this book. Some of the ways this book promotes literacy includes: *phonological awareness *phonemic awareness *print awareness *predictable phrases *alphabetic principle....and more!
