Dear Parents,

Who will touch the yellow dot? How many times will we clap for the dot to move? This smart book introduces us to the world of books through play, inviting children and parents alike to read and interact simultaneously.

The book provides an opportunity for shared reading with our child, emphasizing the joy and importance of playing together. Sometimes through reading participation, and other times through interaction and movements, keeping the child engaged. This spontaneous interaction contributes to building a close, interactive relationship filled with fun and laughter. The child practices participation and imagination, explores their senses, listens to instructions, and plays with the book, stimulating their senses, developing balance and movement, and enhancing spatial awareness.

The book also highlights reinforcing words and their positive impact on the child. Each successful execution of a task results in an encouraging word, motivating them to continue and appreciating their effort.

We invite you to enjoy and play with the book alongside children.

Let’s Talk

• During the first reading, we participate with our child as we follow instructions together. This helps our little one to understand actions through our embodiment and imitation.
• About emotions: we can ask our child how they felt when we read the book and played together, and which books they love and prefer.
• About playing together: we can ask our children which activities and games they like to play together.

Let’s Create

• Children learn the art of pointillism and create paintings using this technique. We can use felt-tip pens, cotton swabs, and paint.

Let’s Enrich our Language

• We can recall encouraging words from the text and try to use them in our daily lives.

Let’s Play and Have Fun Together

• We can play “The King Says:” participants must follow the instructions preceded by the phrase “The King Says.” For example, if we say, “The King says jump to the right,” we jump together. If we say “Jump to the right” only, we don’t jump. We can take turns as a
