During storytime today I read several of my favorite read-aloud stories, including David Shannon's Duck on a Bike. On each page Duck greets a different barnyard animal while riding his bike, and each animal responds with the appropriate animal noise. As I read this book I usually prompt my audience to supply the animal sounds.
When we go to the page where Duck meets Horse, I asked the kids what sound a horse makes. The crowd went "neigh," just as expected. As the sound was dying down a little girl, four years old, sat up a little straighter and proudly announced:
"Horses make glue!"
All of the grown-ups in the room - myself included - had to try really hard to keep from cracking up.
