The Giant's Sneeze is one giant romp of a story with toppling trees, a tornado of honey, and very clever town folk. The engaging illustrations are a perfect match to the rhyming text. From beginning to end, children will have the opportunity to learn the letter combination "ch" and to practice pronouncing the sound as they "help" tell the story. Speech and reading skills are interdependent and children make leaps toward literacy when those skills are taught together. This story, besides providing entertainment, will encourage pre-reading and articulation skills.
