Last night at bedtime, after we read a story with her, Mira shared a story (that she heard in school) of mountains that could fly and how the king cut off their wings! This was a new story for us..She told us in much detail and with actions (to show how both wings were cut off!) - we simply looked up the story and could trace back to the title just basis her storytelling!

Viraaj really enjoyed reading his first ORT book titled Round and round. He quickly recognized the roundabout and started narrating his own version of the story. In his interpretation of the story, all the kids were friends and they were in a playground in the school and the lady in the book was his Teacher, Charu ma'am. He enacted the whole story with gestures and hand movements and in his version of the story in the end the kids weren't scared but they were waiting eagerly for the roundabout to stop spinning so they can go next. He called the roundabout magical. He also told his favorite thing to do in a playground is the slides and running in grass with his Nani and he got really excited remembering his time playing in a playground.

Viraaj learnt a new word and was very curious about it's meaning and the fetching game! He quickly grasped the gist of it and narrated the story with much excitement. He was a little upset when Floppy wasn't being a sport and was so very happy at the end when it ran to fetch the cap. When asked why it didn't fetch the stick but ran quickly for the cap, Viraaj explained " Because he cares about his family and he didn't want Biff to lose her cap".

He could relate to the story as he is also a little hesitant to try new things at forst however once he gets the hang of it he can’t stop doing it. He didn’t shy away from admitting the same and also said what His mumma always tells him “it’s ok they should try na mumma Charu ma’am will take care if anything happens (point of to the teacher in the book) He feels his playground should have a merry go around that goes round and round too.

I was taken by surprise to find out that Ayaansh already knew that tiny animal with poky horns is called a hedgehog. On probing him to tell me where he had learnt the same from he recollected that he had seen on peppa pig! What followed after that was a very humane narration of the story by him. He was easily able to describe all the pictures and narrate the story. He was happy that floppy found a friend in the hedgehog.

Viraaj was very excited to see the magicians on the cover of the book. He read the book with much enthusiasm.  He couldn't recognize Biff and Chip disguised as magicians but instantly pointed out that Kipper was missing and may be he is the one hiding under the rug. He loved how the trick progressed and was happy to see that he was right and Kipper emerged  at the end. Post-reading Viraaj kept trying to put up a magic show for us. He covered some little things with his handkerchief and did some disappearance tricks and kept saying "Abracadabra". It was the most fun book for him so far.
