One of Mem Fox's books that highlights vocabulary is "Hattie and the Fox" which goes over animal names (hen, goose, pig, sheep, horse, cow, fox) and body parts (nose, eyes, ears, body, legs, tail). A key feature of this book is that it repeats these vocabulary words over and over again in the

I love Mem Fox and her books because they are a lot of fun, a very necessary component of storytime. Mem Fox's "The Ten Read Aloud Commandments" include...
1. Spend at least ten wildly happy minutes every single day reading aloud.
2. Read at least three stories a day: it may be the same story three times. Children need to hear a thousand stories before they can begin to learn to read.
3. Read aloud with animation. Listen to your own voice and don’t be dull, or flat, or boring. Hang loose and be loud, have fun and laugh a lot.
