I Went Walking is a fun, interactive book that can be read to young children. As a young boy takes a walk, he identifies animals of different colors. The book is interactive because the children can say "What did you see?" after the reader says " I went walking". Ideas brought up in class were that either the color words or the names of the animals, or the actual animals could be covered up allowing the students to say either the animal or read the words. This is a very useful book for the classroom and I think fun for both the teacher and students. The illustrations are also beautiful! I really enjoyed I Went Walking.

Molly: I concur with Victoria: thanks for choosing this as your read aloud. It is one of my all-time favorite titles. And your idea for student interaction with the text is awesome!
Molly,
I agree with your opinion of this book. The book was creative with the pictures and simple and interesting on the wording, something young children would love. Nice choice!
