It's actually great for developing language. We make up a story or talk about what's happening. We also got one at the library about a paper hoatnin the rain. It was really cute...perfect for talking about emotions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wordless-books#post-2657409 Sat, 26 Nov 2016 14:03:06 +0000 PawPrints 2657409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have Good Dog Carl and DH always narrates each page, whereas I prefer to just let DD look at the pages and imagine the story herself. DH gets mad at me when I do that though. He thinks she should get to hear a story. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wordless-books#post-2657289 Sat, 26 Nov 2016 01:52:38 +0000 AB810 2657289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My three year old loves Journey.

Then, I had to explain why a bunch of boys would kill a bird. Ugh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wordless-books#post-2657091 Fri, 25 Nov 2016 00:13:21 +0000 birdofafeather 2657091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've got goodnight gorilla where we add in words, we've read flora and the penguin, and then we have this flashlight book which has so many things you can narrate. Or if you want to "read" quickly you can just say the things the flashlight is on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wordless-books#post-2657035 Thu, 24 Nov 2016 17:44:58 +0000 nana87 2657035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have good dog carl and flora and the flamingo, I narrate it for lo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wordless-books#post-2657015 Thu, 24 Nov 2016 15:59:28 +0000 delight 2657015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bloved: oh yes right. It's all coming back. It's such a great book! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wordless-books#post-2657011 Thu, 24 Nov 2016 15:35:10 +0000 bloved 2657011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@delight: not many! the only words are "goodnight ______" to whatever animal he might be greeting (and of course the chorus of goodnights in the dark to the zookeeper's wife". Love that book! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wordless-books#post-2657010 Thu, 24 Nov 2016 15:33:32 +0000 delight 2657010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bloved: I was going to say goodnight gorilla too. Are there words in it?! I thought it was a wordless book! </p> <p>@Bao: I used to love the snowman book and little tv special when I was little. I will have to look for that one for LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wordless-books#post-2656997 Thu, 24 Nov 2016 13:49:53 +0000 newlypregnantlady 2656997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love all Suzy Lee's books. They're so beautiful. </p> <p>And my daughter's current favorites are Gerda Muller's season board books (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter).</p> <p>But I know Alexandra Day's Good Dog Carl is pretty popular. </p> <p>I've been dying for the Aaron Becker books but my daughter is still too rough with regular picture books. I love wordless books. They're so much more interactive than a traditional story. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wordless-books#post-2656970 Thu, 24 Nov 2016 09:11:06 +0000 MsInformation 2656970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter loved Goodnight Gorilla. Now she's a little older and likes the Mamoko books. We're hoping to get her into The Mysteries of Harris Burdick, which DH and I both loved when we were little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wordless-books#post-2656968 Thu, 24 Nov 2016 08:57:03 +0000 bloved 2656968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not wordless, but my son used to love "goodnight gorilla" and there is a lot more to the story than just the text. I used to fill it in with narration and make guesses about what would happen next. Now that he's 3, he has started to do that too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wordless-books#post-2656959 Thu, 24 Nov 2016 08:13:36 +0000 twodoghouse 2656959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have Flora and the Flamingo, and Flora and the Penguin. The kids love them because they can do the dances along with Flora and her bird friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wordless-books#post-2656953 Thu, 24 Nov 2016 07:54:03 +0000 Alba4 2656953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have Journey. The pictures are beautiful. My 3 year old enjoys it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wordless-books#post-2656950 Thu, 24 Nov 2016 07:40:20 +0000 MrsKoala 2656950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a couple that have very few words so I just make it up according to the pictures. DS can't tell the difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wordless-books#post-2656949 Thu, 24 Nov 2016 07:36:45 +0000 Bao 2656949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone?? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wordless-books#post-2656313 Wed, 23 Nov 2016 08:08:31 +0000 Bao 2656313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does your LO have any wordless books that they enjoy? </p> <p>We only have The Snowman and when LO asked to read it, and we told her there were no words, she was confused. DH made up a story to go along with the pictures, and she seemed content with that. I've been eyeing Aaron Becker books (Journey, Quest and Return) but I'm not sure if LO would want another book with no words ;) </p> <p>How do you "read" wordless books to your LO? Do you just have them enjoy the illustrations? Make up a story? </p>
