Overview
Young children will enjoy accompanying Poofy on his journey to find new friends. They will delight in seeing the different animals and learn what each of them considers a fun activity. Since these activities are specific to each animal, one after the other joins in to find an animal that might have a suggestion of what they can all enjoy and play together. The book illustrates the differences between the animals, but shows that with perseverance all the animals can find a common ground to become friends and have fun together.
Description
Inspired by helping children to overcome speech impediments, Felina Woods, a licensed speech therapist, and her mother, Sabina Wrightsman, created a fun book for children to practice the pronunciation of the letter 'f'. This book repeats the letter 'f', one of the letters many young children have difficulty pronouncing. By repeatedly reading the book and having children repeat the names of the African animals, children practice the letter 'f' and at the same time, get to know the difference between the various animals. Young children will enjoy accompanying Poofy on his journey to find new friends. They will delight in seeing the different animals and learn what each of them considers a fun activity. Since these activities are specific to each animal, one after the other joins in to find an animal that might have a suggestion of what they can all enjoy and play together.
