Questions To Ask

Ask about what signs children recognize from the book

Ask about what signs are new to them

This book has very few words, ask children to make sound effects for the truck

Ask “what does that say?” “what does that sign mean?” when seeing familiar signs in the book


Things To Do

Look for logos and signs as you drive, walk, travel.

Answer child questions and prompts about new and unfamiliar signs and logos

Take pictures of signs in your neighborhood, and use them to look and find the real signs.

After your walk, you can read the book and discover similar signs that you found outdoors together
