While Little Skink hunts yummy ants for breakfast, she is suddenly attacked by a crow! But she has a trick to escape – she snaps off her tail, and it keeps on wiggling! Little Skink is happy to be alive, but she misses her bright blue tail. Little Skink’s Tail follows Little Skink as she daydreams of having the tails of other animals in the forest. Readers will enjoy pretending with her, trying on tail after tail. The first is too puffy-fluffy, and another too stinky! Then one day Little Skink gets a big surprise…and she doesn’t have to dream of tails anymore. The “For Creative Minds” section has information on tail adaptations and communications and a mix-and-match tail activity. – FROM THE PUBLISHER
FROM THE BOOK FAERY REVIEWS…Sylvan Dell Publishing recently contacted me to review Janet Halfmann’s E-book “Little Skink’s Tail”. When I was first approached I was a bit leary of an e-book for my 3.5 year old to enjoy; however, when I tried it out with her I found it was the perfect solution on days I was not in the mood to read a children’s book. This next generation e-book featured an auto-flip and auto read (both in English and Spanish) to rest my voice while we enjoyed a cute story about a lizard and her tail.
The only thing I wished it did as it read the story (which was in great animated voice quality by the way) is underlining or highlighting the words as it is read. Still, I recommend this ebook format to any parents and teachers with internet access.
