In No, Silly-Willy, author Caroline J. Clarke Connelly instantly engages children by having her colorful characters ask humorous questions, like: ÒGreen frog over the log, can a red ant sing?Ó The metered, rhyming text encourages children to read along, repeating the questions and answers. The format also supports the development of inferencing and prediction skills and the use of expanded sentence forms, while also providing parents, teachers, and speech-language pathologists the opportunity to increase childrenÕs proficiency in asking and answering questions, rhyming, sequencing skills, verb tenses (regular past and irregular past tense verb forms), vocabulary, categorization skills, and color and spatial concepts. The content and thought bubbles activate the social/cognitive skill of Òperspective takingÓ (e.g., the understanding of what characters in stories or others may be feeling or thinking). No, Silly-WillyÕs surprising text and satisfying ending prompts Òread it againÓ requests and lots of giggles. The book provides a fun initial experience that can lead to a lifetime of reading. An MP3 digital download of the song ÒNo, Silly-WillyÓ is also available as a perfect addition to the No, Silly-Willy book. Children will love hearing this catchy melody and singing the lyrics.
