The next book on our “Getting Ready for Kindergarten” list was Froggy’s Best Babysitter by Jonathan London and illustrated by Frank Remkiewicz. This would be a great book for teaching concepts of print, styles of text or even onomatopeia but we decided to continue making connections. This worked very well for us because a favourite movie of ours lately has been Mary Poppins. Last time we watched it I made sure to point out the part at the beginning when Michael and Jane are reading their father their own advertisement for their new nanny. After reading the book today I challenged my children to come up with their own qualification for their “Best Babysitter”. We decided to share their ideas in a movie.
