This is part of the Reading out Loud series. Make story time engaging with character voices. Listen in on how we do it.
This is one of my favorites to read aloud to smaller children, in the spirit of the classic Are you my Mother? Distinct characters and simple dialogue make it a fun one to create voices for.
It starts when Little Owl falls out of the tree…

“I’m lost. Where’s my mummy?”
Luckily, s/he’s quickly spotted by Squirrel, who so wants to be useful:
“Don’t worry, little friend. Follow me…”

“Wait a minute, I know your mummy…”
Does frog know something that squirrel doesn’t?
You can listen in on our story to find out.Hope you enjoy it a much as we do.
