One Afternoon

Minho ran errands with his mom one afternoon. They went to the salon, laundromat, ice cream store, pet store, shoe repair store, supermarket, and then back to pick up the laundry. Wherever they went they heard many sounds. The book is full of pictures and letters that represent the sound coming from it. It is a book of city sounds and sights. When they got home, they were glad to be inside where it was quiet, but then Minho head sounds from the bathroom, "plunk". This is a great way to teach onomatopoeia. If you focused in on one of the things Minho did instead of all of them, this could be a small moment piece.
