Duck in the Truck by Jez Alborough is an adorable book about animals being stuck and trying to help their fellow friend become unstuck. The animals a cute and friendly and try with all their might to help the duck. This story has a wonderful rhythm by which to read and it plays with words and rhyming which will get your littles listening and engaged. I remember playing with words with my children and helping them learn what rhyming is. They loved changing words in books and songs to fit what they were doing or to just be silly. We would laugh and have so much fun making up rhymes…

Rhyme Time with Your Little
Rhyming is an important building block for your child’s success in learning language and reading. Rhyming helps young children learn how language works. They can hear the rhythm and flow of language. It also allows them to play with language in a fun way. My children always loved to take a familiar rhyme or song and change the words to go with something we were talking about or learning. Sometimes we just changed the words for fun and to be silly.
