This fun and exciting book introduces young children to some of the culture of Louisiana in a manner that supports EC Social Studies.The vivid colors and "seek-to-find" critters supports the visual development of young children. While the word annunciations, supports the auditory. The introduction of critter groups, supports math/counting and reading skills of numerals from one to ten. As well as rational counting skills from 1-55 when counting critters individually.
Did some one say MUSIC?! Well that is also included. The song lyrics retells the story. It is to be sang with a "Mardi Gras" beat, as "Mardi Gras" is fun for all ages. This increases the development of rhythm. Which believe it or not also supports reading and annunciation of complex words. This book encourages the creation of all kinds of fun activity extensions. So how bout (about) we; "Laissez le bon temps rouler" (Let the Good Times Roll)!
