Children Without TV #38 Heroes in Literature

Jane Yolan and Mark Teague tell how dinosaur
gets well soon.
Three year old saw it
once; heard it once; kept the rhyme!
THINK: make a big stink
Today on Face Time, Oliver reminded me that his Mom had the flu. And that the dinosaur doesn’t make a “big stink.” This is a timely phenomena since he is navigating from diapers to using the toilet.
So he memorized the phrase from Yolan’s book: “Does he make a big stink? Is that what you think?” Every time he quotes the book, his family applauds for the young poet. All the acknowledgment is just more encouragement. His favorite at 2 was “poop poop toot toot”!
