These books can be a mixture of fictional stories (such as <em>Dear Mrs. LaRue<\/em> or <em>The Three Little Pigs<\/em>) and nonfiction (such as a book about farm animals). In <em>Dear Mrs. LaRue<\/em> by Mark Teague, a dog named Ike does some things that a real dog would do (howling). He does other things a dog would not do (write letters). Look through the books and invite your child to point out what things are real and what are pretend (or &#8220;silly&#8221;).\u00c2\u00a0Now your child can make his own book. Make up a story about an animal. In the story, the animal can do some things a real animal would do, and some things a real animal would not do. \u00c2\u00a0In the book, draw pictures of the animal doing different activities. Some of these activities can be real and others can be pretend.\u00c2\u00a0Write captions beneath the pictures \u00e2\u20ac\u201d your child can dictate them or help you with the writing.\u00c2\u00a0Later, encourage your child to &#8220;read&#8221; the story to a friend or family member.
