This is a quiet book that works so well in toddler storytimes. Yael watches what passes by from her balcony, and the story moves along by asking what she sees. If you want to practice dialogic reading – just reading these pages draws your little listeners in. Don’t foget to take a walk through or around the library after sharing for a perfect storytime activity. Do spend a bit of time with the end papers and the balcony – ask what they see? My fist glance felt playpen-ish and if you don’t have balcony like this one, your listeners might be similarly confused.
