Dear Parents,

"There once was a cup that wore a cap!" Children at the age of three or four years laugh at this sentence and attempt to construct similar sentences. These sentences make them laugh because their meaning deviates from logic and does not make any sense. Children at this age already acquire knowledge about the world around them, and any "break" of this knowledge becomes a joke for them. Children also like to play with words. It is their way to discover the correct morphological structures so they can use words in sentences that convey precise meaning.

Rhyming games is an activity that encourages the child to communicate with others. You can read the book together and complete it with your child's creative rhymes on a page designated for this matter at the end of the book. It is important to encourage the child to observe the drawings accompanying every sentence because they help the child understand the illogical meaning.

Finally, it is easy to read this book anywhere, during traveling in the car or while waiting at the doctor's clinic.

Herby, we share with you some suggestions for activities about the book you can do with your children:

Family Activities

  • Read the book together and observe the drawings. Explain to your child the meaning of unknown words, such as carpentry shop, India, lantern.
  • Chose some words from the book, such as cup, Summer, cucumber, etc. Encourage the child to think of similar words that rhyme with words from the book. Help the child to construct a sentence that links the two rhyming words.
  • The child may desire to add an additional sentence or more on the book's last page or to draw some pictures.
  • "Humanizing" objects or animals or attributing feelings to them is part of the fun in rhyming games. Observe the drawings with the child and talk with him/her about what indicates feelings in the drawing (like the happiness of the oil bottle for winning, or sleepiness of the tongue.)
  • Enjoy your reading and activity!
