Tuesday Treasure
Publisher blurb: All across Africa, as the sun sinks lower in the sky, the animals ready for the night. Lion prowls. Viper slinks. Monkey swings. Hippo splashes. And meanwhile, a child prepares for her own peaceful dreaming. The jaunty rhythms, gentle rhymes, and beautiful illustrations in this book will send every child off to a good night’s rest.
I picked up this book from a display in the library I visit each week. I marvel at the way the books in this collection look so fresh and new even though this book was purchased for the library back in 2009. The date due slip shows that book has been borrowed 12 times. I had not heard of Daniel Adlerman or his wife Kimberly Adlerman (see her art here) but flipping the book open the collage art inside really appealed to me.
Here is a set of teaching notes to use with this book. This book is based on a song but my copy did not come with the CD and since this book was first published in 1996 it seems the CD called One Size Fits All, Listen up - is no longer available. If you can find this book and you have a school music teacher perhaps the students and teacher could compose some music to use with this book. This book contains rich words such as prowling, romping, cautiously eyeing, massive and stunning. The revised edition (paperback) of this book contains more details about the African animals, a map and a song lyric sheet. You may be lucky to find a copy - here is the ISBN 9781620147955.
