July 25, 2008: Williams, (Moose Eggs or Why Moose Have Flat Antlers, 2007) offers a beautiful children's story about a young boy who goes on a walk and names the animals he sees along the way and identifies their colors. As the boy encounters yet another animal, the previous animals follow him. The beautiful and vivid illustrations by Julie Vivas make the animals come alive for example the reader sees a snippet of the animal that is revealed on the following page and keeps the child curious. The use of repetition in the text ('I went walking. What did you see?) makes this book a perfect read aloud for young children because it keeps the children involved. Identification of animals, colors and connecting the words to the pictures makes the book one that every child should experience.
Seemingly Simplistic With Many Lessons To Learnby Anonymous

November 18, 2007: I Went Walking by Sue Williams is a seemingly simplistic book about a young child?s walk and discoveries made upon the way. As a future educator I found this book to be full of teaching opportunities, not just concerning reading comprehension. Some ideas for teacher are: * Prediction?What animal will the child see next? * Addition---With the turn of the page new animals are added to the walk. This book can be used to represent addition in the real world. *Sentence Structure---Repeated sentences and similar sentence structure throughout the book can serve as a model for correct sentence structure. ?Animal Identification---Six different animals are represented in this book, which means that it can be used for animal identification and exploration. These are just a few ways to use Sue Williams? book as a teaching tool, however, it is also a book that can be read for sheer enjoyment in the classroom and at home.
