Story Sound Effects

From 365 Days of Baby Love, by Sheila Ellison and Susan Ferdinandi.

Make up or read a familiar story to your child. The story should involve many sound effects, animals, and silly characters. As you tell the story, sing some of the words and have your child make all the sound effects. Add fun hand and body movements if child likes it.

Good books to do this with:
