Talk Oscar, Please

As I was getting to know my groups this week, I shared a book titled, Talk Oscar, Please.  It is a great story with adorable pictures.  The boy who tells the story wishes his dog, Oscar could talk.  In the end he realizes that he already knows what his best friend would say.  The act of communicating without words is a powerful lesson in the story.  Kids have a lot of nonverbal communication with all of those lucky enough to be able to teach them.  It is our job to "read" them.  The author Karen Kauffman Orloff has many other books. The link below is a good start.
