Online Storytime 24 September: Look!
Look! By Jeff Mack
Look! By Jeff Mack is about a gorilla who wants a boy to notice him. The boy is too busy watching TV, so the gorilla tries different ways to get his attention while screaming out the word “LOOK”. It isn’t until the gorilla accidently knocks over the TV, that the boy turns to the gorilla and yells “OUT”. In his anger, the boy notices a book on the floor, discovers the wonders of books, and shares his experience with the gorilla.
How can reading LOOK! help support your child's learning?
• The story uses only two words “Look!” and “Out!”, encouraging children to join in with the repetitive text.
• The simple text allows children to focus on the illustrations and use their imagination to follow and understand the storyline.
• The illustrations are clear, colourful and easy to understand, helping children make meaning from the pictures.
• The characters’ facial expressions show emotions, supporting children’s ability to recognise and talk about feelings.
• The story encourages children to make predictions about what might happen next through observation.
• Children can develop their own story be describing and commenting on what they see in the pictures.
• The story can be relatable to some children as it explores the meaning of wanting attention, making mistakes, understanding feelings and building friendships.
