word puzzles, word houses, and games, Word bird playfully
teaches vocabulary, values, colors, months of the year, days of
the week, and much more.
Bird's Magic Wand - Word Bird uses a pencil as a magic wand
to write and learn many new words at school such as, a birthday
message, signs for a zoo, and a note in Duck’s lunch box.
Word Bird and others write stories and make books. Miss Beary
gives everyone a surprise button that reads,” I am an author”.
Bird's New Friend - Going into a classroom for the first
time is a big challenge for Little Kangaroo. Word Bird
helps by being friendly and kind. The school day is filled
with many exciting activities including a potato- sack race on
the playground. Page 32 has a chart on How To Win a Friend.
Bird’s Rainy-Day Dance
- Along with creative
play, creative movement and dramatics are
hallmarks of the early childhood years. Children
are learning many ways to communicate with their
bodies. They love to play pretend. A young child
watches an airplane zoom overhead. Suddenly his
arms are outstretched and he zooms around
pretending to fly like the airplane in the sky.
Word Bird’s Rainy Day Dance is one example of a
creative dance story about digging and planting
a garden on a spring day. Children love to
dramatize the sequence from seeds to plants,
fruits, and veggies.
In the book, everyone has a part.
Children are also learning about working
together and creating a story themselves, as
they move with enough space
to sway, turn, twirl,
tiptoe ,and bend, as they dance.
Word Bird's Hats - Over the
course of a week, Word Bird tries on hats
representing different occupations and assembles
the tools Word Bird needs for each job.
For schools and libraries, Child's
World distributes the Word Bird Books online at
