Monsters Party All Night Long
Age - 3 to 5 years
The book promotes language development through changing semantics, rhythmic wordplay, and expanded vocabulary through words not used or heard through every day life. An example of changing semantics would be the use of horror d'oeuvres instead of hors d'oeuvres. The children reading or being read this book is learning through accommodation, learning new words that the child may not have heard before so the child makes new schema's to fit the words into their vocabulary. An example of this would be the use of the word disco, with a picture of a disco ball and a dance floor. The child would associate both the dance floor and the disco ball with the word disco.
