Counting on the Woods by George Ella Lyon, photographs by Ann W. Olson
The poetic phrases in this book provide a great opportunity to expose your child to new vocabulary. Hearing and seeing unique words can help expand your child's understanding of reading.
The photographic artwork provides visuals you can count with your child. Ask your child to use their background knowledge by pointing to any familiar animals and plants; can they identity what is in the pictures?
Expand the Reading- Make a Nature Viewer!
Supplies Needed:
cardboard/cardstock or other heavyweight paper
coloring supplies
scissors
Cut a small hole in your piece of cardboard, and decorate your Nature Viewer. You can draw pictures of plants and animals you expect to find outside.
Once you've finished, take your Nature Viewer outside and look through the hole. What do you see? Talking to your child about the nature right outside their home can help build background knowledge.
Try playing a game by seeing how different types of leaves or bugs you can spot with your Nature Viewer.

"What if Jonathan really had caught up to Dracula in Piccadilly and killed him in the street?"
Head lopped off. Kukri through the chest. The 'murder victim' turns to dust in full view of the gawking crowd. Then what? Then what??
Piccadilly Police: "So this man beheaded and impaled an aristocrat in the middle of the street."
Witnesses: "He did."
Piccadilly Police: "And the body..?"
Witnesses: "Crumbled into that pile of dust."
Piccadilly Police: "..."
Witnesses: "..."
Piccadilly Police: "...So has he named which magician he's working for or--?"
Witnesses: "No, he's just been busy kicking the dust into the horse dung piles in the gutter."
Of course, this is the best case scenario sillytimes version. Serious version? Jonathan only manages half of the process before some Good Samaritans tackle him; and likely get cut in the process. I bet he could chop Dracula's head off, but not manage the heart-piercing in time. He gets dragged off to jail. The Count's two pieces get taken to the morgue. And now Van Helsing, the Suitors, and Mina are all on a ticking deadline to stake Dracula's heart before sundown with Important Witnesses present to prove Jonathan's innocence and sanity in the slaying...
And if and when that happens?
That means the Drac Attack Pack are responsible for bringing the reality of vampires into the public awareness.
So.
Surprise, everyone!
Imagine the can of worms that would open around them, around the whole concept. Their original plan to head to Castle Dracula to end the Brides gets a LOT of extra tagalong company. Photographers are there. Ditto shady government sorts who, of course, are eager to investigate a way to turn vampirism into a benefit to the Crown. The Drac Attack Pack would be swamped with sensationalism. It'd be a circus.
Which all adds up to a belated understanding for me about just why Dracula had to get away from them in Piccadilly. If he had been caught and killed? God. What a mess it'd be.
