As you all already know, Quincy loves books. It doesn’t take him long to memorize one and “read” it back to us. One set of books he’s had for a long time. They are by Todd Parr (thanks Parnins!). Before his nap today, he had me read about 7 or so books. After we were done, he wanted to recite one of the Todd Parr books back to me. He did it correctly and then I thought, “Hey, I should probably record this.”
The book he “read” to me is called Big & little. One important tidbit to know is how I read it to him. I use a deeper, louder voice for the big things and a softer, higher voice for the little things. Quincy does a great job mimicking this effect.
In case you can’t understand him in the beginning of the audio clip, here is how the book goes:
BIG TRUCK…..little tricycle
BIG ELEPHANT…..little ant
BIG BANANA…..little peas
BIG SKYSCRAPER…..little doghouse
BIG CAKE…..little cookie
BIG TREE…..little leaf
BIG MOMMY…..little baby (he says Quincy)
We are proud to present Todd Parr’s “Big & little” as read by Quincy Alexander Rock:
Okay, that was adorable.
Wow!
He is a very clever little guy! Another bibliophile in the making!
