Click, Clack Moo, I Love You!

By Doreen Cronin

It’s Valentine’s Day and on the farm that means a Valentine’s party. Little Duck is wildly excited. She hangs balloons, streamers, sparkling lights, and hearts everywhere, and hand-makes a valentine for everyone. On top of a hill, a little fox hears the music from the party and follows Little Duck’s many decorations to the barn…but foxes are not at all welcome on farms. The chickens stop dancing. The sheep stop dancing. The pigs stop dancing. The mice hustle off to hide. Will Little Fox ruin the dance? Or, perhaps, she’s just what the party needs!

This sweet Valentine’s Day book can be used in speech therapy to address social/emotional issues like acceptance. It is also great for sequencing and for targeting inferencing as well as for /k/ final and /kw/ sounds!
