Zog´s book




In my opinion the book is interesting and funny. Besides it has a lot of drawing which make it is reading easier. The paragraphs are short, so as not to be boring.
Although it takes too long to read it. It is proper for children at infantile education, but the vocabulary is difficult.
Zog´s book is good to be listened and the pictures can be shown. Children interact with the classroom and with the classmate while listening.
Children can learn how important friendship, mother-care, learning new things and developing fantasy is.
In conclusion teacher would enjoy reading this book because they could adapt it to the children´s behavior in that moment.
